Robert Kronenburg

I am architect and emeritus professor at the University of Liverpool in the United Kingdom. I am also a past Fulbright fellow and have been a visiting fellow at St. Johns College, Oxford University. For more than thirty years I have researched innovative forms of architectural design inspired by technology and culture, writing and curating exhibitions about portable and mobile architecture, flexible and adaptable building, and venues and stage sets used for live popular music performance. Many of my books have been translated into French, German, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese.

Robert Kaye is my fiction pen name and my first published novel; The Shadow House, became my lock-down project when I finally had some time to pay attention to my fiction writing itch. It was also a NaNoWriMo project, the first draft of about 60,000 words completed in 30 days. After the exultation of completing a whole novel, the real work started (which would take three years off and on) with draft after draft recycled into the version that is now out in the world.
