Deeper Realms is Here!
After fifteen years of teaching myself the craft of writing (and a lifetime of fascination with both history and natural history) my first full-length novel, 'Deeper Realms, Volume 1' is here!
The story follows anxious palaeontologist Dr Eve Wells, recruited as prehistoric consultant by enigmatic time traveler Ravenna Friere to investigate mysteries and phenomena which threaten the integrity of reality.
A year in the making, and drawing together four of my self published novellas with two new stories, Deeper realms is the strong female lead time travel adventure you never knew you were waiting for!
"From across the globe come tales of strange creatures and phenomena which science is hard pressed to explain, but when the mysterious Ravenna Friere walks into Dr Eve Wells’ life, the anxious young palaeontologist finds herself drawn into a world of terrifying answers.
From the frigid shores of Loch Ness, to the blazing deserts of Egypt, Ravenna leads Eve and fellow time traveller, curator Polly Nightingale, on the trail of troubling anomalies which threaten the very fabric of reality. Alone on the Cornish moors, Eve comes face to face with a fabled creature set loose from the depths of the past, while in Cold War Britain, the emergence of a long dead virus presages events which leave Eve and Ravenna fighting for their lives in a valley renowned for miracles – their incredible secret hanging in the balance.
Drawing together four of Dr Eve Wells’ most notable adventures – plus a preview of the forthcoming novel Dinosaur Girl - this single volume provides an exciting window into Ian Roberts’ eclectic time travelling world.

Merry Men and Mayhem
I may be a connoisseur of all things historical (with a child-like love of Natural History) but my bread-and-butter specialism is the juicy subject of Medieval Gentry Criminality (AKA ballads and outlaws), so putting on my metaphorical medievalist's hat, I invite you to take a look at my article 'Murderers and Merry Men' in the June 2018 issue of 'History today' (UK) magazine in which I explore the gritty truth behind the outlaws of medieval myth. Go on - you know you're interested!
