Hi, I’m Andrew Priest—author of The Night Riders series. I believe the best stories don’t come from nowhere—they come from love.
For years I lived in the countryside surrounded by animals, open fields, and the kind of quiet that makes your imagination run wild. I had donkeys, a dog, and two children who saw magic in everything. Those years shaped the storyteller I am today.
When my marriage ended, life changed. But the weekends my children spent with me didn’t. it was during those precious days together that The Night Riders was born—a story created not just for my children, but inspired by them. Ashleigh, the brave and imaginative nine-year-old at the heart of the series, carries a little piece of my daughter in her. And Nathan, her older brother who is absolutely convinced something very strange is going on—carries a little piece of my son.
If you have a child who charges headfirst into adventure and a sibling who spends most of their time trying to figure out what on earth they’re up to, then you’re in the right place.
