Robert has lived all around the United States at one time or another for brief periods. Born in Northern Virginia, he now resides in the Hampton Roads area of southeast Virginia. He developed his passion for writing at an early age, mostly through poetry, being published for the first time at seventeen. Later, with his love of the outdoors and with a survivalist mentality, his passion evolved into writing short stories and finally into full length novels focusing mainly in the post-apocalyptic/horror and the suspense/thriller genres. With two titles already under his belt, (the post-apocalyptic “A Time of Darkness: Book One – Scattering the Ashes” and the suspense/thriller “Three Days in Autumn”) and a third underway, he continuously aspires to make his passion for writing his livelihood, assiduously pursuing his dreams and setting goals to make this happen.
