The first book, Andor Awakening was released in March 2012, with little known of the fantasy books themselves or the author, who was just 19. By 2013, the books had become far-reaching and relatively popular, with thousands of copies sold.

Since then O'Keeffe has been hard at work on Andor Wolfblood, a book which he states will take the main character, Andor, and his comrades to the "darker recesses of humanity" and will show them that "the Raz are far from being their sole enemy", whilst also assuring that the world itself will see significant development and exploration in the second book, with old faces making re-appearances but a large group of new characters entering the fray.

Since then O'Keeffe has been hard at work on Andor Wolfblood, a book which he states will take the main character, Andor, and his comrades to the "darker recesses of humanity" and will show them that "the Raz are far from being their sole enemy", whilst also assuring that the world itself will see significant development and exploration in the second book, with old faces making re-appearances but a large group of new characters entering the fray. Additionally, O'Keeffe states that many of the questions and uncertainties (as well as the monumental cliffhanger at the end of Awakening) will be answered in some form during Wolfblood.

Whilst Wolfblood was originally intended for release in late 2012, a series of factors, including the length of Wolfblood and complexity of the characters introduced, led O'Keeffe to delay the release of the book into Spring 2013 in an effort to maintain the quality of the plot line without sacrificing length.

Brendan O'Keeffe grew up in Lewes, Sussex and began dabbling in writing as a young boy. The Shae Series and the characters inside of it developed over years of personal exploration that cultivated a rich and detailed world with a substantial depth that lent a gritty reality to its characters. O'Keeffe invested heavily into the background and mythology of Shae before producing Awakening, firmly believing that it would create a far more vivid and real world with relatable challenges and sacrifices experienced by the characters that are locked in a bitter war to save humanity from extinction.

Writing aside, O'Keeffe is completing a degree in Primary Education and is a keen fitness fanatic. He spends most of his time either exercising, socialising or writing, living in Oxford for the majority of the year but returning to towns in Sussex such as Lewes, Battle and Bexhill on a regular basis. ...more

Quotes by Brendan O'Keeffe (?)

“The truth is this. It isn’t about winning anymore. It hasn't been about winning for a long time. It's about surviving."

“There were no negotiations, no attempts at making some kind of peace. When their ships landed along the coast, they knew what that had come here for. They came here to kill and that’s what they’ve done.”

"Listen friend. The city is lost, and we have very little time. What's your name?"
"Andor.”
― Brendan O'Keeffe, Andor Awakening
