Robin P Gilbert

I've been a games programmer for over 30 years and a writer for over 20 (I started very young!). I now live in Brisbane with my wife, two children and Nelly the cavoodle.

I love to write science fiction (with an unhealthy interest in dystopian worlds, about which my Speckledom series of stories is about, beginning with Brightly Falling) and fantasy (the Gateway World stories, of which The Magic Moonstone is one). I also dabble in a strange kind of fantasy / humour hybrid (the vastgreen forest; Double Negative) and occasionally feel compelled to write a slipstream tale (Elysium).

I give my stories away for free in the hope that somebody, some day, will read something in one of them and think ... "Wow! That's so cool. I'm going to be a writer." ... just as I did when I was 16 years old and found a dusty old copy of Asimov's Foundation in the attic.
