Robert W. Stephens

Robert W. Stephens is a writer and filmmaker. After graduate school, he worked for a variety of video production companies as a production assistant and grip on commercials, infomercials, and documentaries. Eventually, he moved up to writing, producing and directing for many Fortune 500 companies, advertising agencies, and government organizations.

Over the years, though, he began to feel the desire to get back to telling his own stories through novels and independent films. To date, Stephens has published 17 novels, including the Murder on Maui mystery series, the Alex Penfield novels, and the standalone dark thrillers Nature of Evil and The Drayton Diaries. His first film, House of Fallen, is a gothic thriller about the hunt for fallen angels, and it received distribution in 2011.

In his spare time, Stephens enjoys traveling and photography.
