Our Books
Welcome to Esk Vale Guest House in Southsea, where comfort, history, and hospitality combine to create a truly memorable experience. Housed in a building dating back to 1860, our guest house exudes a timeless charm and rich heritage that echoes the elegance of the Victorian era—a period when Southsea began to flourish as a seaside retreat. My name is Andy, and together with my wife Valerie, we proudly run this charming establishment, welcoming every guest as part of our extended family.
My creative journey began in the early ‘90s as a Computer Game Artist, transforming simple graphics into vibrant visuals. Later, my career evolved into Game Development Management, where I helped craft immersive experiences that captivated audiences. In 2012, while focusing on family, I rediscovered my passion for art and storytelling—a passion that now lives on through my writing and art. We hope you enjoy our books as much as we enjoy sharing them with you.
