Robin Wickens, affectionately known as the Rob of Rob’s Books, is a retired veteran who has seamlessly transitioned from serving his country to captivating imaginations with his literary creations. With a profound passion for fantasy and folklore, Robin’s work often explores mystical realms where mythical creatures thrive and the extraordinary becomes part of everyday life.
