Andrew Beatty has been writing fiction seriously since the birth of his first son two years ago. His works have appeared in Aphelion-Online, Alien Skin Magazine, and Sinister Tales. Additionally, his first novel is available as an audiobook on Podiobooks.com.
When not writing, Andrew works as a teacher, reads too much, and juggles babies. Not literally, but sometimes it feels that way.
What Others Have Said
“Andrew Beatty writes a fairly interesting story. I won’t ruin the ending for you, but Andrew reminds me of a blog novel written by Billy Jones.
Both of them have the ability to make a characters boring life interesting to the reader without adding unrealistic adventure (at least thus far).”
“(Y)ou’re a joy–to this reader anyhow who enjoys the old movie talk. Give me a villain with a little style any day. And a believable heroine, and those great clipped sentences that cut deadwood right out of the star system! Humour, dry with tongue in cheek is certainly this reader’s cup of tea.”
“Wow, what a fun story to read. The first person narrative was a great fit the easy going, hard luck story. I poked through a lot of stories to find this one, but the wait was worth it. I had a lot fun reading the piece.”
“I enjoyed reading Double Love very much. It was one of the best Critters stories I have seen in a long time. Thanks for submitting it for critique.”
“I loved your story despite my best efforts not to. I found the gritty details, particularly the pornographic/exploitative parts disquieting, but that was purely an emotional response (probably a female one as well). It was realistic, that was your intent and you
succeeded.”
“It was really a great read.”
“This has got go be the one of greatest short stories I have read anywhere.” (No this person is not on my payroll)
“As I said, this is an incredibly timely story and if you could use it to raise some BIG questions about human experimentation and the nature of being human (vs. technologic), I think it could do quite well.”
