About me

My name is Robert Campion. I love a quiet life with friends, red wine, sourdough bread, staying in reasonable health... and quite a few other things.

I live in England, where the Greater London sprawl overlaps into Surrey.

I have worked variously in adult life, including a longish spell as a proofreader, and admin work for a charity. In my younger days, I did factory work, leafletting, various other things.

I have published three volumes of poetry via Amazon, including: The Book of Good Love, and A Poet's Meditations. Most recently published, is: Poet, Monk, and Lover: poems of love and solitude.

I have also written a historical romance, and a volume of short stories. See below for a description of my work.

My work:

The Flower of Asia Minor.

This epic tale is set in Teos, an Ionian coastal town, when the Persian Empire is rising to power.

The reader will encounter an over-confident king, wise philosophers, passionate lovers, nervous townsfolk, wives and concubines, pagan Gods and Goddesses ... and much more.

This is a story rich in humanity and humour, tragedy and sadness.

Also:

Mahjong Girls and Other Tales.

In 37 stories and sketches, Robert Campion gives his unique - and often despairing - take on the modern world. Set in an unnamed town on the south coast of England, the stories and sketches combine to give an extraordinary picture of human life, in all its strengths and weaknesses and eccentricities.
