R.A. Young

R. A. Young is a pseudonym created by Robert Aprea and Richard Alan Young, co-authors of the Dragonpath storyline.

Robert Aprea began his winding path in Detroit, Michigan. The eldest of six children in an Italian-American household, he earned a BA in Public Speaking and Theatre from Arkansas Tech University and then an MFA in Theatre from Texas Tech University.

As a designer, director, writer, and actor, Robert has worked in professional theatres across the United States and taught theatre arts at universities and high schools. His wanderlust has taken him to numerous locations across the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Europe. He considers home to be "wherever I am standing." He also strives to instill as much love and wonderment into the lives of his family and those around him. Likewise, he also enjoys spending time with the dragons and humans of Dragonpath, a speculative fantasy/science fiction series developed in collaboration with Richard Alan Young. However, after his friend’s death, Robert continues this journey alone.
