Robert Kroese
Robert Kroese is an American author of science fiction, fantasy and thriller novels and non-fiction books. He writes the Mercury series. Robert grew up in Grand Rapids, Michigan. When he was in the second grade, he wrote his very first novel – about Captain Bill of the spaceship Thee Eagle. Everything has been downhill since. He somehow graduated from Calvin College with a philosophy degree and was canned from several jobs before finding work as a software developer in California. While writing an absurdist blog and at the same time being named a church deacon, Robert saw the juxtaposition of these roles and used it as inspiration to create his Mercury character.
