Robert Moons


Biography

I am a graphic designer and illustrator by profession, and graduate of the illustration course at Sheridan College. Writing is a hobby and another creative outlet. "The Chronicles of Z'va'Xin" is a novella (the first 6 issues/chapters), which will be followed up by a series of short stories to continue the adventure. I look to Robert E. Howard's (Conan, Solomon Kane) writing style for inspiration. My website below has all my work for free in PDF form with cover art. Issue #10 should be finished by early Aug. 2012.

  • 10 Fitness Myths Debunked on Dec. 10, 2011
    (no rating)
    Thanks for putting this information out there. I consider myself fairly knowledgeable about fitness but there were a couple of points I did not know. Just one minor correction: Training with light weights for more than 2 minutes or more is inefficient and does not lead to muscle development. (Just need to remove one "more" – Training with light weights for more than 2 minutes... OR Training with light weights for 2 minutes or more...) Rob.
