Index
Andrew Rule is a reporter who can find the story behind the story
and then write it using the techniques of a novelist. He is known
for writing on crime and its detection but has also covered big
sporting events -- such as the London Olympics -- and major
international disasters such as the Christchurch earthquake and
Japan's tsunami. He has worked for three major daily newspapers and
a national magazine and is currently an Associate Editor of the
Herald Sun in Melbourne.
He grew up with horses, has worked in stables and has had a
lifelong weakness for racing. He claims to be the only Australian
Journalist of the Year to have ridden a winner of a horse race.
"A deft writer with a sense of humour. It's Rule's access to the
Winx camp that adds the X-factor." --Australian
"Excellent." --Age
"Superb." --Sydney Morning Herald
