Author Robert James Bridge began writing many years ago, mainly because he has an imagination that tends to take him into a sort of dreamworld. At eighty-two years old, he still writes to this day, simply because he loves what he does, even if it pays very little. Bridge lives with his long-suffering wife, who has recently been given all clear from cancer. He indicates she is long-suffering because she has helped him to continue to write and given him the inspiration to carry on writing. Bridge and his wife, Mildred, live on the South Coast of the United Kingdom, five minutes from the seaside.
