About the author

Dave Robinson

<p>I&#8217;m Dave, and I write. I&#8217;m also a father, a reader, gamer, a comic fan, and a hockey fan.</p>&#13; &#13; <p>Unfortunately, there is a problem with those terms; they don&#8217;t so much describe me as label me, and the map is not the territory. Calling me a father says nothing about my relationship with my daughter and how she thinks I&#8217;m silly. It ignores the essence of the relationship for convenience.</p>&#13; &#13; <p>It&#8217;s the same with my love of books, comics, role-playing games, and hockey; labels only say what, not how or why. They miss all the good parts.</p>&#13; &#13; <p>If you want more of a biography: I was born in the UK, grew up in Canada, and have spent time in the US. I&#8217;ve been freelancing for the last seven years. Before that, and in no particular order, I&#8217;ve managed a bookstore, worked in a pawnshop, been a telephone customer service rep, and even cleaned carpets for a living.</p>&#13; &#13; <p>As a freelancer, I&#8217;ve done everything from simple web content, to ghostwritten novels. I&#8217;ve even written a course on trading forex online. I&#8217;ve also edited everything from whitepapers to a science fiction anthology. Right now, I'm working on the next Doc Vandal adventure.</p>
