About the Author
Robert Llewellyn wrote his first novel at the age of twelve. By the time he’d published The Man on Platform 5 (his first published work of fiction), thirty years had passed. In the intervening period he’d worked as an artist’s model, a bespoke shoemaker, a tree surgeon, a screenwriter, a comedian, actor and TV presenter.
He has appeared regularly on British television since 1987 in various guises including under quite absurd amounts of rubber in Red Dwarf; covered in grease and dust in Scrapheap Challenge; in terrifying machines on How Do They Do It? and sitting in a car chatting in Carpool.
Robert Llewellyn writes under a rack of solar panels in Gloucestershire; News from the Clouds is the final book in a trilogy. The other titles are News from Gardenia and News from the Squares.
