Andy Leake

Andy loves surfing, diving, hiking, really finding any excuse to interact with nature in his free time. Going with the flow has taken him to all the corners of the globe, from hitch hiking to Amsterdam in fish lorries to being adopted by a house-busload of hippies in Brunswick Heads, New South Wales. Being a gay man has shaped all of Andy's experiences and the queer perspective is an important and central narrative in his stories. Currently residing in Wellington, Aotearoa, finding any excuse to jump back in the ocean or head into the bush.
