About the Author
Keith Robinson is the author of 30+ fantasy, sci-fi, and spooky supernatural books primarily for middle-grade readers but suitable for all ages. Though best known for the Island of Fog fantasy books, he's also the author of the Sleep Writer sci-fi adventures and, more recently, the Darkhill Scary Stories. He wrote the dark fantasy Quincy's Curse, and co-wrote the two-book Fractured tale with Brian Clopper. He typically writes three books a year while drinking hot tea.
Born in England in October 1969, Keith has been a self-employed website designer since 1999 under the business name White Oak Design. He brought that business with him to the United States in 2001, where he now resides in the sticks of Chickamauga, Georgia. Keith has been writing on and off in his spare time for as long as he can remember. He also offers a novel proofreading service to help other authors eradicate those annoying typos and grammar/punctuation issues, as well as assistance to help indie authors self-publish their books.
Keith is a die-hard Doctor Who fan and loves pretty much all things sci-fi, fantasy, and downright weird. He owned every Doctor Who book in existence back in the 1980s, which at the time was about 110 novelizations based on the original TV episodes. But the publishers couldn't get them out quick enough, so Keith turned to fantasy author Piers Anthony, who was hugely successful in the 1970s-80s (most famous for the Magic of Xanth). This author has since read pretty much read all of Keith's books and reviewed each in his newsletter website at hipiers.com. Piers rated Sleep Writer as one of the best books he'd ever read regardless of genre! (See here about halfway down.)
