Writer’s Insight

My name is Robert Fairhead, and I’m your podcast host and narrator. I’ve always loved reading and writing and wrote and self-published my first book, Sand Island, an Enid Blyton-Famous Five-style adventure story, in 1972, when I was ten-years-old.

I’m now a middle-aged writer and editor at the Tall And True website, an online showcase and forum for writers, readers and publishers. In addition to Tall And True, my book reviews and other writing have appeared in various print and online publications. And in 2020, I published a collection of short stories titled, Both Sides of the Story.

All of the stories on Tall And True Short Reads were written by me and are shared online at TallAndTrue.com. Some explore recent themes, like lockdown and social isolation. While others from the Tall And True archive, are set in more distant times.

At the end of each episode, I give a brief background into the writing of the story, which should be of interest to podcast listeners and fellow writers.

I hope you enjoy Tall And True Short Reads. Please subscribe to the podcast and rate and review it via your favourite listening app. And don’t forget to tell your family and friends about Tall And True Short Reads and the Tall And True website.

Thank you for now. The first episode of Tall And True Short Reads, another Enid Blyton inspired short story, Five Meet on Zoom, will be in your podcast feed shortly.
