More Snow! Noooooo!!!
by Mark RobsonThe view out of my front door about 2 minutes ago. Why is this bad? Because it means the kids are off school. Why is that bad? Because with my aupair away it means I can’t do any writing! Just as I was really getting on with my new book at a good pace this [...]
Happy New Year Everyone!
by Mark RobsonWhat will the New Year bring for you? For me, a resolution to get fitter (as always!) and to write faster this year. The Devil’s Triangle is already drawing some interest from the film industry (must not get too excited, must not get too excited) and I hope there will be interest from US publishers [...]
First Darkweaver Translation!
by Mark RobsonI’m really, really excited to announce that for the very first time The Darkweaver Legacy series will be published by a major publisher – Random House Books in Germany.

Harry Enfield and Chums at the KLQ.
by Mark RobsonThe UK Final of the Kid’s Lit Quiz was held in Oxford this year at the prestigious Oxford Town Hall. Harry Enfield was the guest speaker, which sparked plenty of hilarity alongside the more serious business of finding the best team of readers in the UK.

Who is this handsome fellow?
by Mark RobsonOh, yes. That would be me at the Trapped by AR Monsters halloween themed event. Hope I didn’t scare too many of the kids when I took the mask off!!
Pumping up the Pace.
by Mark RobsonOctober is a pretty frantic month all round. Lots of school events, the start of the pre-Christmas book signing season and trying to keep on top of the writing schedule at the same time. It’s all good fun, but it can be exhausting, too. You can see what I’m up to on my news page. [...]

What makes a winner?
by Mark RobsonFor those who have been following the posts on my progress at Tae Kwon Do, you will know that I was disappointed not to get an ‘A’ at my red belt grading in the summer. It was particularly irritating to me as I’d prepared better for that test than for any of the previous ones [...]
