Robin Richards is a British author who has published both fiction and nonfiction. Stairwell Books notes that two of the books were self-published and award-winning, and that Richards has also placed more than 20 articles or stories in publications ranging from the Journal of Advanced Nursing to The Dalesman.
Richards's work shows a broad range of interests. Open Library lists books including Two Bridges over Menai, Great Little Trains of Wales, Menai Suspension Bridge Pocket Guide, The Secret Bridge, and Lejoged: A Midlifer's Trek From Land's End to John O'Groats, suggesting a mix of travel writing, local history, and storytelling.
According to Stairwell Books, the first chapter of The Great Billy Butlin Race was shortlisted in 2019 for the inaugural Writers & Artists Working-Class Writers' Prize. The same source also highlights a recent interest in short fiction, adding to a body of work that feels varied, practical, and rooted in real places.
