Firstly thank you for logging onto my website.
I am Rob Starr, an author living in Brighton.
Reading is such an important part of my life that I found myself wishing I could be on both sides of the equation – both a reader and a writer. So here I am, now in my fifties and making that wish come true. They say we all have a book in us, so this is me proving to myself (and hopefully to you) that one book is not enough.
I hope you enjoy my books and if you feel able to then please reach out to me and let me know what you think. I sincerely love feedback.
Thanks and speak to you soon I hope.

"From the moment I read the first page could not put it down. I was so hooked to the story that I found myself talking about it to my teenager children on the way to school; I noticed the tone of my voice was excited as I could see everything in my mind as if it was a film. I really enjoyed this book. A great read and story that makes you Wonder"
