Robert Wingfield

Worked in computer systems and security at a large bank for what seemed like forever, but eventually completed his tunnel, and escaped to follow his passion for the written word.

And what he does now

Writes a variety of different genres, including young adults (YA), gothic horror, satirical science fiction, travel, general satire and ghost stories.

He is actively helping a number of authors with editing and formatting works in paper and e-book format, and was Submissions Director for a US publishing house.

He runs the Inca Project, a small group of talented writers, who are struggling to get their works recognised. We mutually support each other, to keep the quality of self-published works as high as possible.

Happenings

Completed the eight books in the Dan Provocation series and realised that "2034, Scared New World" is actually one of these, although without the comedy, and fits in at position 6.5. He is currently working on the fourth in the Seventh House series. As a diversion from his usual material, he put into words a number of tales told by a cousin upon her return from Africa. These are intended to be read as bedtime stories for young children. The illustrations are provided by a very talented friend of the family.
He has helped to publish two other works by Inca writers, "The Book of Ned" an illustrated tale of a rescued dog, and "Escaping the Cage", a book of poetry dealing with breaking away from unhappy situations. See the Inca Project for further details.

Publishing and Printing

After using a wonderful printer in Poland to produce high quality hardcover books, Brexit has made that more difficult, but now, Amazon are providing that facility, albeit not in the UK at the moment. Hardcover books can be submitted, but these are shipped from Europe at a very reasonable price although this takes an extended time. Oddly, if you order the hardback from Amazon at the full price, you can get it delivered in only a few days and it's not much more expensive considering the postage charges from the continent.
