About

My third science fiction novel, Monitor, came out in 2010 from Whiskey Creek Press. I have two other novels published, Lisa’s Way and Expert Assistance. I also have two short story collections available, The Sagas of Surgard and Fun Tales of Fantasy and the Future.

I’ve had stories and articles appear in periodicals such as Marion Zimmer Bradley’s Fantasy Magazine; Tales of the Talisman; Space Westerns; Sorcerous Signals; Wild West; and Model Railroader.

In 2007 Pelican released my biography of "Bleeding Kansas" leader Jim Lane, and before that a biography of a Kansas Civil War general. I’ve had six Kansas railroad books published by South Platte Press.

Description

Santa’s Birthday Gift was written in response to a grandchild’s question, after reading the story of the Nativity. She asked, “But where’s Santa?” This story tells the story of the Nativity and then goes on to tell the story about how when Jesus is born, Santa sees the star at the North Pole and travels to see the baby. Since he is a toymaker, he brings his bag of toys - and offers them to the Christ Child, and then to all the people of the town. His birthday gift to Jesus is a promise to bring gifts to all good boys and girls each year on the Christ Child's birthday

Reviews

The "Sagas of Surgard the Traveler" is brilliant. In search of bards' tales for his god Durn, Surgard not only finds tales but is himslef the source for many future tales. This book is bard wisdom at its best. With basic homespun wisdom, Robert Colliins not only tells exciting tales but manages to impart knowledge without letting us know we are learning.
