Ralf Wilkins

Ralf Wilkins (24th October 1942 - ) is a Sudrian author who wrote a few books, including the famous The Adventures of Issac Otto series.

Early Life (1942 - 1965)
Ralf was born in Portsmouth, United Kingdom, in 1942. He studied literature in Oxford University in the 1950s, and then wrote his first book, The Adventures of Issac Otto in 1965, which was published by Sudrian Publishing.

Bank Accountant and Writing (1965 - 2000)
After the publication of his first book, he got a job as a bank accountant. He was so focused in working that he didn't have enough time to focus on the planned sequel he had for The Adventures of Issac Otto. He married Sally Matt (1940 - 2005) in 1975, who had just gotten out of a dangerous marriage with Tom W. Matt, who attempted to kill his two year old daughter, Sarah Matt (1973 - ).

However, his chance to complete his unfinished sequel came when the Sudrian Banks Crisis of 1986 happened, and all banks were shut down. Ralf continued to work on the sequel, and eventually, Back to the Adventures of Issac Otto was completed and published in that year.

Then in 2000, there was a fire at his bank, causing all operations there to cease. Ralf was so determined to write the finale to his trilogy of Issac Otto books, and Issac Otto's Last Bow was published in that year.

Depression (2005 - 2008)
While Ralf was writing his fourth book, Redzone!, his wife passed away. He became so said that he began drinking, and even considering suicide.

Then, thanks to the continuous support of his loving stepdaughter, Sarah, he got through the three years of depression.

Return to Writing (2010s - present)
In 2013, Sudrian Publishing gave Sarah Matt the authorization to continue Tom W. Matt's famous The Days of Spying series. Sarah, who had no real writing experience, then approached Ralf to help her with the book. He did so, and the first The Days of Spying book since 1971, Back to the Days of Spying was written and published in 2015, and became a huge success. Sarah and Ralf became a writing duo. Their second book written together was published in 2016, titled Mirror Mirror on the Wall, which became one of the most bestselling books in all of Sudrian history. Ralf then returned to writing his unfinished book, Redzone!, which was published in 2018, and wrote a new version of The Adventures of Issac Otto, which was titled Issac Otto, and that was a huge success. He and Sarah then began writing their third book together, Spying All Day, which is due to be published in 2021 according to Ralf's Facebook page.
