Books by Rob Bignell

Here's a collection of books I've either written or in which my short stories and essays have appeared.

My short story "I Hold the World but as the World" appears in this collection of apocalyptic fiction printed by Sam's Dot Publishing. When two time travelers visit the Triassic, they discover an intelligent species is already there ... and must determine what threat this may be to humanity. The anthology was released in October 2010. Buy this book.

Day hiking with kids isn’t quite as simple as taking the kids onto a trail and walking. Many parents have no idea where there even is a trail. They wonder how to keep their kids properly dressed for the wilds and how they’ll ever carry their infant all those miles. They struggle to figure out how much water and food to bring. They ponder what to do when their children get bored on the trail or start to misbehave. They know there must be a better way to cross rough terrain than the balancing act they’re attempting. They want to understand how to treat injuries from blisters to broken bones, of what to do if they’re lost or even forced to stay the night in the woods. This book, released in July 2011, covers all of that and more. Buy this book.

My short story "Dark Secrets" appears in this magazine. When an alien appears on a remote human outpost, he threatens to reveal a dark secret that could mean the end of Raphael and his special love, Addie.
