Rob Radcliffe was born and raised in Lancashire, England. He is a fiction author and novelist, and newly formed bloggist (it’s catchier than blogger).
He spends the majority of his days with his head in the clouds, sometimes coming back down to earth just long enough to turn those daydreams into stories by actually writing them down.
Rob writes across several genres, ‘lad’ lit (which would be chick-lit’s naughty younger brother), thrillers, and sci-fi.
Despite his appearance in his head shot, Rob does come in colour…and usually with both ears.
Rob’s books are a mixture of coming of age testosterone, action, humour and general silliness. A great place to start would be at the beginning of each book, he feels they work better that way.
Healer, the third book on the series, takes on a newly revealed aspects of the Divine, that of being able to heal those that are injured or sick, and travel in time.
Much like the previous book, Divine, there is a very complex interplay of characters, talents, and unfolding lives. This again takes careful reading, for though the story flow is easy, it’s not hard to lose track of what is happening, or has happened, or is soon to happen.
Overall a challenging and fulfilling work of fiction.
At first this book appears to be an interesting, multigenerational glimpse into the eventful lives of a family.
It leave your mind scrambling to piece things together until you get an AHA moment and find yourself emerged in a juxtaposed time line that carries you through a power that few understand, yet can dramatically alter the lives of everyone around them.
