Robin Tompkins
About Robin Tompkins
Robin, is from Birmingham, where he has been telling stories all his life, like his father before him and writing them down for nearly as long. He has also been known to paint a bit and take photographs that some people quite like.He was published for the first time at age 50, on his fiftieth birthday in fact, after many years of strife (don't feel sorry for him, it was self-inflicted, he would insist on writing and trying to get published)
Since then, he has won the British Fantasy Society Short Story Prize in 2010, with the story, 'Omar, the Teller of Tales' and has also been published by Leaf Books and in Scribble magazine.
He currently has three books available on Amazon, a fourth 'under construction,' and a fifth in the back of his mind waiting its turn.
For those interested in that sort of thing, he travelled quite a bit when he was younger, which has had a considerable influence on the worlds and stories he creates and is interested in a good many things, which are also in the mix somewhere.
These things include but are not limited to...
Music, anything from Muddy Waters to Clean Bandit by way of Prog Rock, Rock, Indie, Blues, Electronica and Electronic music, Ambient etc.
Film, all sorts of film, from Citizen Kane to Avengers End Game and he doesn't even mind if films are in black and white or have subtitles. He has a particular fondness for old Ray Harryhausen flicks, anime and all things Sci-Fi and fantasy. He is also a Whovian and an X-Phile.
He finds Theremins to be very interesting but can't play one. He is very fond of cats and although he doesn't have a cat anymore, remains fascinated by them. He is also fascinated by beer but isn't allowed much of that these days either. With the exception of writing, all his other enthusiasms are subject to change without notice.
