If you like the idea of a crazy but coherent coming-of-age story, well-written and presented, then WOOF! might just be the class A recreational novel you've been looking for ever since you realised Oz is not only real but located somewhere between a warehouse rave in Milton Keynes and a potting shed in Dewsbury.
WOOF! revolves around Peter and his friends Derek, Kate, Sophia and Fatima. They're putting on a play for the course they're doing at the polytechnic. Only, the playwright thinks it's quite probably the worst student play ever. And there have been some stinkers. He's working with a chain-smoking gothic diva, a perpetual stoner, a director who likes Elaine Paige and a nymphomaniac, polyamorous self-harmer.

About the Author
Andrew S. Hinkinson was born in Lancashire, England. His mother had a home birth, which is how the family's toy poodle was able to bite the doctor when he turned up after all the messy stuff was over and done with. On his first day at school, left-handed Andrew produced a fairy story for his teacher but she had to use a mirror to read the backwards writing. "The spelling was perfect, though," she said. Thankfully for all of us, Andrew learned to write the other way round. He was soon drawing comic books with intricate and episodic sci-fi plots, selling them in the school playground for ten pence a copy. In his early teens he got into trouble not only for drawing very rude pictures and selling them to his friends, but for producing his x-rated juvenilia on school paper purloined from the art supplies cupboard. Andrew moved to London to see the Queen and find Puss in Boots but somehow ended up with a Bachelor's degree in English and Theatre Arts from Goldsmiths College, University of London. He lived in London for 13 years and worked as an editor and copywriter. Relocating to a small market town in the Yorkshire Dales, Andrew studied poetry under the tutelage of world-famous poets like Simon Armitage and the UK's first-ever female Poet Laureate, Carol Ann Duffy and was awarded an MA in Creative Writing.
