Keeping in touch

Hi everyone

As we're about to lose our direct messaging facility, I just wanted to let all my Goodreads followers know that anyone who wishes to keep in touch, particularly my BookTuber friends, can find my contact details on About Me at robkeeley.co.uk. You can also follow me on X - @RobKeeleyAuthor - and subscribe to my YouTube channel - Rob Keeley TV.

Best wishes to you all

Rob :)

Happy New Year, everyone! Don't forget to check out robkeeley.co.uk and Rob Keeley TV on YouTube, for all the latest happenings in 2026.

Get in touch if you'd like a free copy or e-copy of any of my books, in exchange for your honest review. I'm particularly keen to hear from BookTubers.

All best for the year ahead!

Nearly Christmas!

Hi everyone, just to let you all know that a story for Christmas will go live on my YouTube channel, Rob Keeley TV, on Christmas Day at 5pm UK time. Shall I tell you...? Go on then. It's 'A Present from Owen', from my MG book 'The Boy Who Disappeared and Other Stories'!

https://www.youtube.com/@RobKeeleyAuthor

An early Merry Christmas to you all.

Rob :)

Sad news

Very sorry to read in messages from Goodreads today that we will soon no longer be able to send direct messages between Goodreads users. I have made many good online friends on here and some have been especially kind in their honest reviews of my books, here or on BookTube. I thought this was a network of authors and readers and in my opinion, this can only be to the detriment of the service. Ah well.

If any of you would like to keep in touch with me once private messaging goes, some of you already have my email address or you can find it on About Me at my website, robkeeley.co.uk. Over-18s only, of course.

Best wishes to you all

Rob Keeley :)
