                               Writer of the Heirs to the kingdom Robin, seems to look back on a filled life and draw from many areas in his world. His life has been spent working around people, as most of it has been spent in the horticultural trade. Talking to people with a wide smile and calm manner, has been almost a daily occurrence for the last twenty years.

                           Here is a man who will sit and look at life, and then discuss what he sees and feels about the world around him. People watching has always been a way of life, looking at the surrounding world, and seeing without the rose tinted glasses is when he is at his happiest. If you decide to sit by the side of this sometimes quiet man, you will find if you talk, he will become very talkative, and maybe you will be surprised at what he has to say.

                         Robin can get very despondent with the world, as he slips from being the happy and very sociable person to a quiet solitary figure, and it is in this area of his life that he has taken his thoughts and feelings, from the many conversations of his life of experiences, and looked hard at what is before him. From somewhere deep inside has come a realm of magic and wonder, filled with people who are as different as chalk and cheese, and yet all of them interact in a very delightful way.

                     The Heirs to the kingdom series of books is the result of at least fifteen years of thought. When you read the story, you are caught in a world that is filled with fantasy and escapism , and yet somehow you are drawn deeper into the pages, and you quickly realize that there is a world as real as the one you live in, carefully layered together like the layers of an onion. Here is the hooded realm of the woodsmen, who fight the same daily struggles with all of the problems of your own life, and yet Robin has managed to get you to want desperately to help and support his characters face their own lives.

                    Robin is a child of the seventies, a decade he loves with great affection, so it is easy to see how the characters of Mad Harry and Magg's have appeared. His days of the long hair, bikers and hippies come right to the surface in all of the colour from his life in those times. Today he is very much a family man devoted to his wife and children. If you look deep, enough you will see the love and care of every person, and the world in which we live are very much fundamental parts of who he is.

                  The modern world of community destruction and greed very much mark the person who has written these stories, and for him it is a sad reflection of modern living. Modern machines, money and designer labels appear to mean more to people than the simple beauty of a flower, Robin has always stated that, “People see trees every day, and yet they never look at them.” The Heirs to the kingdom, shows the many contrasting qualities of humankind through the eyes of the author, and you begin a process of reflection that lets you see another world that could have been ours had the world took a different direction.

               These are skillfully crafted books, that will leave you thinking long after you have put them down, it is a tribute to the way they have been written.

         It has taken a long time to get this work on to the book shelves of the shops, I feel at times like I have given half my life to the series I am writing, but its nice to have it out at last.
         I must confess there has been times when I wandered round the publishers, and I began to doubt it would ever happen. Thanks to the solid support of my family and the readers group, they really kept me going. UKUnpublished also deserve a huge hunk of praise, they are a new company run by a man of great vision and a lot of care for the writers he supports, thanks David, your magic brought the realm of Rune and the others truly to life.

          This is just the start, you will love what happens next....
