Two of Eggleton’s poems were published in the 1970s and another won
first place in 2015 international poetry competition managed by the WSC
Science Fiction & Fantasy Club/WillyCon. His debut novel, Rarity
from the Hollow, was named one of five best reads in 2015 by a Codices,
has been awarded Gold Medals by Awesome Indies and Readers’ Favorite,
and has been so well received by prominent book critics and reviewers
that it is scheduled for republication by Dog Horn Publishing, a
traditional small press, in 2016. Three of Eggleton’s short stories have
appeared in magazines: Wingspan Quarterly, Beyond Centauri, and
Atomjack Science Fiction.

Author proceeds from Eggleton’s Lacy

program operated by Children’s Home Society of West Virginia. http://www.childhswv.org/
Robert continues to write adult literary science fiction with new
adventures based on a protagonist that is a composite character of
children that he met when delivering group therapy services. The overall
theme of his stories remains victimization to empowerment.
