She wrote her first book about taking up deerstalking and the wonderful new world the experience opened to her.
It was a beaut read and so is this one.
She was working in an outdoor store a few years ago when a woman previously unknown to her, came in to find a home for two pig-dog pups, and Andy's world changed again.
This is a book more about the dogs: building a team, their personalities and the thrill of the hunt.
The pigs provide the excuse, however, for a self-confessed ''meataholic''; plenty of pork also finds its way into the chiller.
