Robert Wingfield used to sleep in the technology department of a large organisation between 9 and 5 each day, (except on Fridays when they woke him at 4 and sent him home early), but he finally got tired with this taxing routine and left his job for good. A prolific writer, to date he has over twenty works, electronically and in paperback, available through various outlets—all can be tracked through www.robertwingfieldauthor.co.uk.
His work covers several genres:
Satirical sci-fi novels, 'The Dan Provocations', hopefully having you laughing out loud (or cringing, when you realize how closely satire matches reality).
Gothic chillers in the form of the 'Ankerita' series (The Seventh House) featuring a Tudor anchoress reborn in modern times.
Travelogues in the 'One Man in a Bus' series, currently cover Sicily, North Cyprus and Syros in the Cyclades.
Other short stories with a supernatural flavor ('The Black Dog of Peel' is free for you on this site).
For the younger reader, 'The Mystery of the Lake' and 'the Mystery of the Midnight Sun' have a Swallows and Amazons feel, and are suitable for even your grey-haired old great-aunt.
'The Adventures of Stefan' kick off with 'Stefan and the Sand Witch', a modern day fairy-tale, and 'Stefan and the Spirit of the Woods', an eco-fairytale.
For those who have elderly relatives telling them about embarrassing ailments, you need 'Everyone's Guide to not being an Old Person', a gentle satire on what people do when they get old, and how to avoid it.
For those struggling authors, he runs The Inca Project, a set of free resources to help you get your works into print. He also provides formatting and editing services through the project, to ensure you get the best result from your masterpiece. See www.incaproject.co.uk
He has written many reviews on management books and was a member of the Chartered Management Institute and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers when he was working and could afford the subscriptions.
His other interests include digital forensics, nature and building conservation, photography, and resisting emotional blackmail from his Labrador.

Don't give up your day job... whoops too late.
(Robert Wingfield)
A dystopian crusade into the near future.
It's over a decade now since the first of the Coronavirus pandemics rocked the world. Life has changed beyond recognition. To reduce cross infections of new strains, most countries have closed their borders. Fortress Britain is once again an island, floating a mere 21 miles from the beleaguered continent. It is secured by the Border Protection Agency, armed with deadly weapons, and orders to shoot to kill.
Barry Saint-Albans is a small part of the BPA, guarding the shoreline, but when he fights off groups of illegals successfully
making it across the litter-clogged English Channel, he suspects there is corruption inside the organisation.
Barely escaping with his life after a new incursion by heavily armed migrants, he takes pity on one of them, in direct violation of his orders. She is desperate to publicise vital information which threatens the whole world order. The knowledge she shares effectively condemns them both to death... if they are discovered.
That was probably the last time Barry was able to tell the truth. Hiding his refugee adds to the fictions he uses to explain to
authorities noting his increased power usage, larger food bills, and his purchase of ladies' toiletries. To add to his problems, he is running the house with an artificial intelligence system connected to the Multinet, that hasn't yet learned to bend the truth.
His new housemate is discovered before she can pass on the data she carries, and after incursions from her people and his, they are forced to flee.
The journey takes them halfway across the planet, with the threat of this scared new world ever at their heels.
