The Inconvenience Store (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781502774606)

Bob was born in Edinburgh in December 1951 to Katherine Sutherland and Bob Cubitt (confusing at times). Bob senior was a professional soldier and the first few years of Bob's life was spent travelling around the world with his family. During his first 15 years he lived in Edinburgh, Austria, Malaya, Enfield, Leigh-on-Sea, Maldon (the Essex one), Harlow and Peckham. In 1968 Bob Joined the Royal Air Force as an apprentice electronics technician and spent the next 23 years travelling the world and enjoying all that service life had to offer. Places visited included Oman (a small island by the name of Masirah), Cyprus, Malta, Holland, Germany and various parts of the UK. During this time he met and married Bernadette and produced three children, Ewan, Tara and Sinead. He retired from the RAF in 1991. Following on from this Bob took up new employment with Royal Mail as part of their logistics team and stayed with them until 2009. After that he returned to his roots and took up a position with the Ministry of Defence at their Logistics facility at Bicester, Oxfordshire, before seeking early retirement in 2012. Bob has always been keen on writing and had tried his hand at various projects over the years, but the need to earn a crust had always interfered with his desire to be more creative. Now with time to spare Bob returned to writing with passion and produced three works of fiction in rapid succession. In truth these had been "works in progress" while he had still been in fulltime employment and just needed finishing off. Since publishing these three books on Amazon he has focused on a new book which he is hoping will one day see the light of day through more traditional publishing channels. Bob would love to hear from any literary agents that may be interested in signing him. In his spare time Bob enjoys playing golf, is a member of a pub skittles team and is trying, unsuccessfully, to learn to play the ukulele.
