Geosi Reads: The first time I heard your name and nationality, I was a bit confused. Why Blackman? On a lighter note, which part of you is black?
Andrew Blackman: This question made me laugh! I don’t know the exact origin, but apparently Blackman is an Old English name meaning someone with dark hair or dark skin. It does cause confusion sometimes!
The rest of the interview will be available in my forthcoming book (2016) by Lamar University Literary Press.

This is awesome Geosi. Jealous you secure an interview with Andrew before me. I didn’t know Andrew gave up so much to be a writer. I used to work for an investment bank before, so I know.
I will read Virtual Love soon.

Deeply interesting interview, Geosi.I enjoyed every bit of it. I think Andrew is very brave to give up a such a illustrious and lucrative career to pursue his dreams. I wish I could do so 🙂
