About Andrew Shanahan

Don't panic! That isn't an egg that's grown eyes and ears. Promise! It's Andrew Shanahan, the author of the Number Nine Downing Street stories.For a long time he's been a journalist, a restaurant critic, an entrepreneur and a dad. He's given speeches at Parliament and feeds a crow from his office window. We don't know where he gets his ideas from (actually, we do - he steals them from his daughter!)Fortunately, he's never exploded.Yet.
