edit data

My debut novel The Mandroid Murders published in 2022, its sequel The Carborundum Conundrum in 2023, and my latest, The Rigel Redemption, in June 2024. My stories feature in Space Wizard Science Fantasy’s four Worlds Apart anthologies, and the Gallus anthology from the Glasgow SF Writers' Circle.

Robin’s Quotes

“Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men, doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien
