Andy Oakes (born 1952 in London, also known as Andrew Oakes) is a youth counsellor who works amongst highly disengaged young people to sort out drugs and alcohol issues.[1] Oakes was previously a defense engineer, photographer, and a small business owner. He received a Calouste Gulbenkian award in 1972 to complete a photographic study of young people within an inner city setting and the resulting exhibition travelled the UK and appeared in several major galleries for the next eighteen months. He also has a daughter named Annie who has been quoted saying I haven’t read the book because it is too scary.

Andy Oakes has twin children - Annie and Tom Oakes, 17 - who love and admire him dearly and are also extremely proud of what he has achieved They are planning to read his books in the near future, as they have had to wait until now because they are apparently very 'hard hitting' but in a very fascinating way

Andy Oakes has been actively involved in the development of hockey players and programs throughout Canada and Internationally for over 20 years. Passionate about bringing hockey and education together, Oakes is a proud member of the Hockey Canada Sports School Advisory Committee. He is also the Co-Founder and Vice-Chairman of the Canadian Sports School League, a new league of Academy squads that includes both male and female teams. For the past two consecutive seasons, Oakes was named the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL) Executive of the Year for his role as President and Governor of the Alberni Valley Bulldogs. He also sits on the BCHL Executive Committee. During his 13 years with Okanagan Hockey School Ltd. Oakes founded the Okanagan Hockey Academy, a year-round program that prepares athletes for higher levels both academically and physically.

THIS HARDENED old lag of a crime reviewer rarely feels that prickling sensation at the back of the neck, the mounting excitement that tells her she's on to a winner. I have seen too many potted biographies like Andy Oakes's: the bloke's knocked about, tried a bit of this, a bit of that, engineering, photography, youth counselling ... So now he thinks he can write.
