Robert Kingsley Hawes is a retired management accountant and one-time professional fisherman who now spends most of his time in a small seaside town on South Australia's Yorke Peninsula. He had always wanted to write feel-good stories, but when his wife passed away in 2013, it was still on is bucket list. His first book, "When Pop Took Us Fishing", was published in 2016. This was a family memoir, but since then, he has set up his own imprint (Smile Time) and he writes feel-good books for young adult/adult readers.
