I am a writer and editor at TallAndTrue.com and blog on my eponymous website, RobertFairhead.com. I also write and narrate episodes for the Tall And True Short Reads storytelling podcast, which features my short stories, blog posts and other writing from Tall And True. I have also published several short story collections.

I became involved with Joomla! in 2008 when I used the platform to build a website for my local dog club.

I subsequently used Joomla! to develop several generations of the dog club website and for my son's primary school P&C website.

I also used Joomla! to create Tall And True, a website showcasing my writing - fiction, nonfiction and reviews - and the writing of Guest Writers.
