Rod's detailed descriptions and inner reflections add depth and complexity to the character, allowing the reader to connect with his experiences and emotions. In addition, the variety of events and situations in the text keeps the reader's attention, providing an opportunity to fully immerse oneself in the story and develop an emotional bond with the characters, each characterized by unique psychological nuances. Thanks to a narrative made of detailed, descriptive prose, Wyborn's work provides a vivid view of the environment and the emotions of the characters. The variety of narrative techniques allows for full immersion in the story through visual and sensory details that create an engaging atmosphere.
After leaving art school, Ray Wyborn worked as a commercial artist servicing advertising agencies and several other clients. When his eldest son was made redundant from a London studio, they worked together in a partnership that saw them working for Marks and Spencer as well as leading advertising agencies. He started writing in the late seventies and has continued to this day. Encouraged by his peers, he has finally taken the plunge to publish his work and test the water. His interest in model engineering resulted in numerous articles for the Model Railway Press. So far, he has written five novels but only finished three, so there is still a lot to do.
