Chance to win a copy of The Nine Horizons
Another book giveaway, global this time; please do enter for a chance to win between now and June 23. One reviewer wrote of The Nine Horizons: Travels in Sundry Places:
"I've never really read a travel memoir quite like this one. Mike Robbins describes the locations of the character's travels in a way that not only paints a vivid picture, but like a beautiful art film he also gives it a lighting and temperature that tone his mood and awe."

Three Seasons: Free download
I am offering free downloads of one my books - link at the bottom of this post.
Three Seasons: Three Stories of England in the Eighties
Blurb:
A washed-up trawler captain. A sleek young businessman. And the Master of an Oxford college. Through these three characters, all beautifully drawn, Mike Robbins has created a vivid picture of the 1980s, a divisive era of great change.
Three Seasons is a book of three novellas, unconnected with each other, but all set in the south of England in the 1980s.
In Spring, a middle-aged Hull trawler skipper, his great days gone, has one last throw of the dice in a South Coast port.
In Summer, an ambitious young man makes his way in the booming Thames Valley property market, unconcerned with the damage he does to others.
In Autumn, the Master of an Oxford college welcomes his two sons home, but they awake difficult memories from half a century before.
Three Seasons is about the Thatcher era in Britain, but it is not about politics. These three stories are portraits of a country and its people on the verge of change.
You can download a free e-copy (choice of formats) from here: https://www.instafreebie.com/free/VWcPr
You will be asked to give your name and email for Instafreebie's email list, but it is not sent to me; and while reviews are welcome, first and foremost I just hope you enjoy the book.

On the Rim of the Sea: Freebie
I've made my latest book a free download. I'll leave it there for a week or 10 days.
Authors usually do this in the hope people will write reviews, and I will be very grateful if anyone does, but mainly I just hope people enjoy the book - especially if they are bookworms or history buffs. I shan't know who downloads it, as the software doesn't tell me.
"How will the world see the 20th century a hundred years from now? For many, it was like living right on the edge of a turbulent ocean that threatened to engulf them; and sometimes it did. In this thoughtful book, Mike Robbins looks at the century just gone through those who lived it, and the books they left behind."
