Robin has had two non-fiction titles published – Allotted Time (2006) which documented his and his two young sons’ inaugural year on a rural allotment and The Incomplete Angler (2008) which recounted his travels to locations that hosted younger versions of himself whilst going fishing. After a brief, sixteen year hiatus from the publication world, he has continued to write (alongside his other creative practices of photography, jewellery-making, drawing and procrastinating) and has been working on a further six books on subjects such as analogue photography, craft, weeding, fatherhood and cooking the perfect roast dinner. These titles are at varying stages of progress, some at synopsis, others ready for submission.

Having taken the somewhat rash decision to sever links with his previous literary agency (Aitken Alexander) in 2017, Robin is currently seeking new representation or possibly direct links with a publisher in order to bring his new works to market.

Having trained as a jewellery designer and maker in the early 1990s, Robin continues to make completely unsaleable – at times unwearable – pieces of adornment and when he is not either at his writing desk, at his jewellery bench or out in the landscape with a pinhole camera he made from a matchbox he can be found in his east Devon garden mumbling unintelligibly about nothing in particular.
