Welcome to Robin Blake's Website
You will find here information about myself, details of my books about Coroner Cragg and Dr Fidelis; with some unpublished background – and my other published books, both fiction and non-fiction.
I also write about visual art and, from time to time, about other things, and I will upload extracts from or links to some of this work.
In the jottings section I will add news. I may also drop in some remarks about what I've been reading, or what people are talking about.
