Author Information

Barry Robbins crafts quirky, imaginative books, drawing from a rich tapestry of experiences. Having a flair for satire, his five political satires have earned three gold medals. With a 26-year tenure as an accountant for an international firm under his belt, he took a bold leap, relocating to Finland's tranquil shores. Barry's imagination, sharpened during his 12-year stay in Finland, now fuels his storytelling, already acclaimed with a gold medal. Residing in sunny Florida, far from the snowy Finnish landscapes, Barry continues to weave tales that blend humor, insight, and creativity. His writing invites readers on a journey through vividly imagined worlds, reflecting a life spent exploring the contrasts and wonders of diverse cultures.
