    Robin Gilbert

    I was born and bred in South Wales (UK) but since 2007 I have lived in Brisbane with my wife and two children. When I'm not writing or trying unsuccessfully to outwit the possums, I work as a programmer for a games company. Thank you for visiting my author page! I do hope you download and enjoy all the free stories...
