The Author
Three novels, Historical Fiction, Cathedrals In The Sky and two thrillers, The Big Game and #Lazarus10 – Available to buy in paperback, ebook or Audiobook.
I’m delighted to say my current work in progress has been funded by a grant from the Arts Council of England and shaped through the Curtis Brown Three-Month Novel Writing Course. Keep an eye on my social media for updates…
A Masters in Screenwriting from the NFTS, I’ve written several screenplays and TV pilots, my last gaining recognition at the Los Angeles International Screenplay and Big Apple Screenplay Competitions. TV pilot ‘Jerusalem’ is with Stanley Kubrick’s producer, Phil Hobbs and his producing partner, Emmy-Winner, Steve Lanning.
CATHEDRALS IN THE SKY
1941: Trinidadian fighter pilot Rudy, finds himself a long way from home. Somewhere over the coast of France, limping back to Blighty in a wounded Spit.
1976: Young Ash, shuffling around with a metal detector makes a big discovery in Baggett’s Pond, spending a hot afternoon trying to dig it out, to impress Helen as much as anything. It’s a Rolls Royce Merlin engine, but where’s the rest of the aeroplane?
2014: St. Mary’s Hospital, Paddington. ‘Cathedrals In The Sky’ was the name of a poem Ash vaguely remembered from his own misspent youth. Paying little attention to teachers and more to the capabilities of Swan Vestas. How much was he willing to share with his boy, now he is old enough to ask awkward questions?
Spanning over 70 years, ‘Cathedrals In The Sky’ is a coming-of-age psychology of identity, love, loss and parenthood, told from a series of five very different perspectives.
THE BIG GAME
What if you were offered the Vegas highlife, to launder millions of dollars..?
Small-time London grifter ‘Shanks’ is an action junkie in search of the biggest game on the planet. As far as he’s concerned, everyone’s on the make; it’s eat, or be eaten.
Spanning two continents and a worldwide crime network, in the time it takes to shuffle a deck, Shanks spins from two-bit nobody trying to grind a living, to Vegas high-roller. Getting arrested wasn’t part of the plan…
A gritty, funny, drug-fuelled blast through the seedier side of poker and what it is to truly live it: rollercoaster stories from desperate faces, all living in the shadows.
Sometimes it pays to be careful what you wish for…
“Rajan writes with a warm, enchanting flow… with strong, dynamic characters… I really didn’t want it to end.”
The second in the Lake Pen Series of novels, by Andrew Rajan
“Fast-paced and laden with plot twists, Lazarus#10 is carried by original writing and a narrator who does not lose his sense of humour, even when he finds himself in free fall.”
#LAZARUS10
“He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die”. John 11:21-26
Tony Peso’s world is turned upside down the first time he is plugged into a cryonically frozen head, to experience their last ten seconds of life. If this was properly marketed, it could be massive…
Ignoring the moral implications and ably assisted by Cryo-Biochemist Davis, Brit-abroad Tony makes millions selling this mind-blowing one-off hit to Billionaires.
Way out of his depth from layers of deceit, he soon finds himself an international fugitive, on the run from the FBI for a murder he didn’t commit. A bagful of cash, but unable to distinguish friend from foe.
Now headlining America’s Most Wanted, Tony finds himself writing his own memoirs from Death Row…
“Intriguing… gripping, really well-paced… highly engaging and very filmic.”
