Malcolm Blair-Robinson was born in Sussex in 1939.

An only child, Blair-Robinson’s parents were English but from families of mostly German origin. Today, he has a large family of his own, with four adult children from his first marriage and two from his second, one of whom died at the age of twelve after lifelong illness.

Having spent most of his working life in the insurance industry Blair-Robinson took up writing in the early 1990’s. Two novels appeared in quick succession in 1995 and 1996.

The unique experience of caring for his daughter and the potential value to others of the lessons he learned, has led Malcolm to start work on this unique story, which he is now in the course of writing. 2008 saw the publication of A Gift of Treason and Stanislaw's Crossing.  Both have sold well and captured the minds of the British public.

Malcolm married in 1963. The marriage was dissolved in 1991 and that year he remarried. The second marriage was dissolved in 2004.

POLITICAL MILESTONES

Politics has been a lifelong fascination of Malcolm Blair-Robinson.  He engaged at the margin and played walk on parts here and there along the way - but mainly has been watching and listening from the sidelines.  After fifty years he has decided to enter the arena but in a different way - by publishing a citizens charter and manifesto "2010: A Blue Print For Change". Malcolm Blair-Robinson thinks politics has become divorced from the people and that our democratic system stifles democracy.
