OOPS!
You've obviously clicked on the wrong icon somewhere!
Never mind, now you're here come on in. Make yourself comfy, browse around by all means.
Grab yourself a cuppa - I'm afraid you'll have to brew it, I'm a bit tied up at the moment, but don't mind me.
Put your feet up, kick off those shoes, if you don't mind me saying you're looking a bit stressed.
Sorry, what was that?
Oh! Where are you?
Well somehow you've navigated to Misty Books which is David J Robertson's author website. I just call him Dave.
I'm Misty by the way. Frankly I'm a far better writer, so there's some stuff about me and Border collies in general on here too, but don't tell Dave I told you!

WANT TO GET HOLD OF A COPY OF  DOGNAPPED! MISTY'S ADVENTURES WITH HER FRIENDS THEN GO TO:

STOP PRESS: DOGNAPPED! IS NOW A FINALIST IN :-
THE PEOPLE'S BOOK PRIZE 2017 - CHILDREN'S SECTION
Picture
So I thought, 'Why not give it a go?' Writing that is.
I have. That's what this is.
It's not Shakespeare or Dickens.
It's me. All mine (plus a bit of the dog!)

I'm David J Robertson a   year old, (sorry the number lock seems to be broken!), bloke from the Black Country.

What's the plan then?

Well, I've done quite a bit flash fiction bits for various competitions.

There are short stories, again in competition.

There's a children's book completed and published (see Misty's news section) as well as two more in the pipeline - about Misty obviously.

And of course there's the novel. Haven't we all got one somewhere? It unfortunately needs attacking drastically with the red editing pen! A humorous (allegedly) science fiction/ fantasy adventure. I only started it in 2006 so it must be nearly finished by now.

Thursday mornings are taken up with Castle Writers in Dudley - a bit of creative writing never hurt anyone. We also do public readings - see T'owd Pol on the Cut in the flash fiction section, that's been heard more than once.

I did an open mike slot for Writing West Midlands at Birmingham Central Library in June 2015, reading out 'Dear Mum.' See the written word here and now - just click on the side bar.

Oh, and there's the blog to do for this website.

Thanks to Awesome Photography, Dudley for the photo - perhaps I should have had a shave first!
