Signing Events
by Mark RobsonI’m going to be meeting up with my good friend, David Melling on Saturday in The Book Store, Abingdon, and again next Thursday in Waterstones, Milton Keynes where we will be signing our books and chatting with people about reading, writing and drawing. No doubt David will have his easel and will draw another masterpiece [...]
Blogging
by Mark RobsonDespite making an effort every now and then, my blog has been sporadic at best and so much passes by without my making mention of it. Take the new book, for example. I’ve written it, edited it twice and am now line editing it, but I’ve not written so much as one post about it. [...]
Writing Heroes
by Mark RobsonI had the rare priviledge of meeting one of my all-time writing heroes last week. I have admired Philip Reeve’s work for a number of years now and have been itching for the chance to meet him. Anyone who has been present at one of my school visits where I’ve been asked what my favourite [...]
An Interview with MG Harris
by Mark RobsonI recently had the pleasure of signing books alongside the beautiful MG Harris, author of the phenomenally exciting Joshua Files series. I’m a big fan of the books and would recommend them to anyone who likes fast paced action adventure stories. The first reads like Young James Bond meets Indiana Jones … and the series [...]

The Bermuda Triangle Mystery… what if?
by Mark RobsonWhat if there was a parallel universe, or indeed many? And what if on one of those alternate earths, something has happened that is causing the barriers between universes to weaken? This is the premise I’m using in The Devil’s Triangle. It’s a bit of fun, I know, but there are some who have made [...]
Darkweaver Legacy Fans listen up!
by Mark RobsonI was completely blown away this morning to discover that someone has been composing music inspired by scenes and characters from The Darkweaver Legacy series. The marvellous WR Orchestra has posted the music on Utube for fans to enjoy. I’ve embedded my favourite piece here, but there are lots more:Baron Keevan’s Castle from The Forging [...]
Four years to TAGB Black.
by Mark RobsonWell, it took 4 years, but I got there: I’m now entitled to wear a black belt in Tae Kwon Do classes. It was a proud moment having Master Jackson White tie on my belt (I can do it myself, but he insisted on doing it this one time) this evening. The rest of the [...]
U.S.S. Cyclops
by Mark RobsonThe size of the USS Cyclops alone made it an interesting disappearance. On March 4th 1918 it set sail from Barbados with a crew compliment of 309 men and a cargo of manganese ore bound for Norfolk, Virginia. Charles Berlitz in his book, The Bermuda Triangle: The great unsolved mystery of our time, describes this [...]
The Mary Celeste
by Mark RobsonThis is a great place for me to start, because it has nothing to do with The Bermuda Triangle… except perhaps by reputation. The 103-foot-long Brigantine, of some 282 tons was actually found adrift, crewless and generally in good condition (though accounts of how good a condition vary) between the Azores and the coast of [...]
