Auteur: Robert Bluck

Robert Bluck is a writer, Zen practitioner and occasional meditation teacher. His first novel, « Mr Woodreeve »s Reflection » is published by unbound in January 2017. He has worked as a schoolteacher, academic librarian and Open University lecturer. Born in London, he migrated north in stages, and he and his wife now live in rural Northumberland. He has research degrees in English and Religious Studies, and his doctorial thesis was published in 2006 as « British Buddhism ». He used to spend summers backpacking across the Pyrenees or climbing Scotland »s mountains, but this has given way to cycling. In 2013 he and his friend Steve rode from Land »s End to John O »Groats to raise money for their local hospice. At present he is writing a book on family history, from labourers in rural Worcestershire to drapers in Newcastle. Away from writing, Robert is either cycling with Steve or planning the their two-thousand-mile ride round the coast of Scotland, which may well turn into another book.
