ROBIN OF TUDOR GABLES
()
About this ebook
Robin of Tudor Gables is a novella length story about an eight year old boy growing up in the tenements of post WWII Chicago. He is convinced the grownups are crazy, and what he sees going on around him gives him every reason to believe it. Sometimes, at night, the neighbors hear him scream. Sometimes, during the day, they hear him laugh out loud. But they don't know that all the time his family is slowly deteriorating. Robin's father finds refuge in his vices. Robin's mother is trying to maintain her identity. Robin finds refuge in his hideout, the fields at Indian Trails, the movies, and in his steel shell.
Are you Robin's father? Are you Robin's mother? Are you Robin?
R. Harlan Smith
I write, for the most part, in the paranormal genre. Ordinary people with extraordinary abilities make for more interesting, character driven stories that have greater appeal than plot driven stories. My settings are usually in and around Gary, Indiana where I attended Lew Wallace high school, and lived the better part of my younger years through the 50's. My tendency to overdo descriptive passages comes from my fondness for the suburban areas south of Glen Park, the southern most part of Gary. The years I spent in Los Angeles also contribute to my settings. My characters are modeled after people I have known, and are rarely simply contrived, so everything I write is somewhat autobiographical by virtue of the setting and my relationships with the actual characters. My interest in the paranormal arises from my own personal experiences which led to researching them and finding some explanation for them from authors such as Carlos Castaneda and Jane Roberts, as well as my education (BA Behavioral Sciences). I will tell you truths you won't believe and fictions you'll embrace like the gospel, but I won't tell you which is which.
