David Robinson


Biography

Grumbling, middle-aged lunatic from Manchester NW England, I write in a number of genres, and while they may appear to be dramatically different, all my works have an element of either mystery, sci-fi, paranormal or horror or any combination about them.

Currently running three separate series, (STAC, Spookies and Space Truckers) as well as producing major, stand alone novels. More works in the pipeline.

  • The Festival On Lyris Five on June 14, 2011
    star star star star star
    Take one depressed pilot, pensioned off too early, a young lass with more than a touch the blarney and a jealous alien resembling a cauliflower, and what do you have? The start of an entertaining and intriguing little tale, The Festival of Lyris 5. I was captured from the first page, and I as I read on, I become thoroughly engrossed in this story, its characters and their adventures, and what came at the end was a complete surprise. I knew there’d be a twist, but I never guessed what. The characters in this sci-fi short come complete with real problems, the situations they find themselves in are entirely believable and there is no magic wand to get them out of the treacle; only ingenuity. Short it may be, but the Festival of Lyris 5 doesn’t lack on action. Well done, author Nick Daws; let’s see more of Richard Barrett and Julie Halloran.
