Fantasy author Keith Robinson

Keith Robinson is the author of Island of Fog, a children's fantasy novel chock full of mysteries and monsters. The novel has received extremely positive reviews across the board, including favorable comments from successful fantasy author Piers Anthony. The second book in the trilogy, Labyrinth of Fire, will be available in November 2009, and the third and final part is planned for release early 2010.

Currently the books are repesented by Whitt Brantley Management and Talent, a Literary, Film and Television Agency. The novels are being considered by at least two major producers.

By day, Keith is a self-employed website designer with a wife, daughter, and three cats. Originally from England, he moved 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, but "seriously" since about February 2002. He joined a writer's workshop in October 2003, which was a great help in honing his skills in the two years he was a member.

When he's not working on websites or writing fantasy, he's reading and collecting young adult and children's books. He has a bookshelf crammed full of secondhand hardbacks of varying authors from the 1940s-1960s, in particular those he grew up with in the UK. He owns EnidBlyton.net and is the webmaster of The Enid Blyton Society, both sites dedicated to the great author. Keith also has an affinity for Anthony Buckeridge's Jennings books and, since moving the USA, has "discovered" many popular American series such as The Three Investigators, the Brains Benton Mysteries, the various Troy Nesbit books, and others.

But it's fantasy and science fiction that really floats his boat. Virtually all the modern books he buys feature young heroes facing ghosts, monsters, and other weird creatures.
