Andrew Marshall

When my partner Thom died twenty years ago, I felt the only place that I could confess all my feelings was my diary. It was particularly difficult because Thom was German and returned to Dortmund for medical treatment. I had to conduct everything in my shaky German. Twenty years later, after sharing my diary with friends and work colleagues coping with a bereavement, I have decided to share it with everyone.

Although I've written eighteen self-help books, under the name of Andrew G. Marshall, I decided to publish this book as Andrew Marshall - partly so my regular readers did not get confused and thought this was another book of relationship advice and partly to acknowledge this was the private me.

Some background, I used to be a journalist (firstly in radio and more recently in newspapers and magazines). I still write the occasional newspaper feature and I've written several plays that have toured all over the UK and Eire. I trained as therapist thirty plus years ago with Relate in the UK and just over ten years ago, I wrote my first self-help title 'I love you but I'm not in love with you' which has sold 100,000 copies world wide. In German, it is called 'Ich liebe dich noch, aber'. My other popular title in Germany is 'Kann ich dir jemals wieder vertrauen'

I am currently working on a second volume of memoirs.
