Robert Moons


Biography

Robert Moons is from the "Twilight Zone" generation. He's the guy observing the human race from the outside looking in. His stories often have twists and surprises, but by the end of the story, all the pieces should come together like a jigsaw puzzle, and hopefully it will leave the reader with a satisfying conclusion. He tries to avoid the usual overworked plots, looking instead for new creative ideas that he thinks are worth exploring. Plots such as an alien father reading a bedtime story to his son (Once Upon a Lightyear), or a metaphysical hitman killing the soul of Hitler (Lex Talionis). He does not restrict himself to any one genre, although most of his work would be in the speculative fiction category.

The science fiction action/adventure novel "XIN: THE VEILED GENOCIDES" is finished. Originally known as "The Chronicles of Z'va'Xin", a 12 part Sci-Fi serial.

For 2013 the Lex Talionis series of short stories will be continued.

  • 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.

    It's a good attempt. Keep at it if it's what you love to do. There's always someone with a negative comment, and so as a writer, it's just part of the game. Constructively, I would suggest you write something, put it aside for a few days and then read it as if you've never seen it before. You might see other ways of saying things, see a technical mistake, etc. Think of the writing as a clay sculpture – keep working it till it looks finished. Anyway, just a suggestion. It helps me. Rob.

    A gem of a story. Whereas some writer's heavily detailed descriptions can have me yawning in no time, Hickory's actually makes the story more interesting. He writes the story as if he is there at those moments in time, and then lets the reader share his intimate thoughts. The use of short sentences was refreshing and work very well in my view. Again, well done. Also, I'm glad you decided to place some of your work on smashwords. Now hundreds if not thousands will enjoy your writing.

    First there was 'Jaws', then 'Alien', and now 'Little'. Whether the action takes place in the ocean, space or in the dense backwoods of Tennessee, the thrill ride is the same. This is a very entertaining read, well constructed and executed. I would also add 'Horror' to the genre. Hickory Cole is a great story teller. Be warned, if you like to commune with nature, after reading this, you might not go camping or hiking for quite some time. And I'm definitely cutting back on eating chicken.

    Well written and imaginative. Captures the flavour of Robert E Howard's writing. Also, nice to see someone else influenced by this great writer.
