Robert K Hatch

I write from an open and broadminded world view encompassing aspects of the meta-physical and

physical. Both comprise the totality of creation and impact our temporal lives.

My meta-physical insights are inspired by my wife, Monica, herself, a gifted hyper-intuitive!

Readers will find in my stories and poems elements of nature, human nature, mystery, adventure,

cosmic and temporal spirituality, and, often, infusions of exploratory science fiction or fantasy, as I

reach out to others through words that I hope resonate and prompt critical thought and imagination.

I have an affinity for conveying the synthesis or confluence of seemingly disparate aspects of life –

its delicious anomalies and complexities.

Be my guest. Read my mind. Glimpse my spirit!

The FULL 5 STAR REVIEW by K.C. Finn for Readers’ Favorite:

"The First Citadel" is a work of fiction in the visionary, fantasy, and historical fiction subgenres. It is best suited to adult readers owing to the use of strong language throughout and some scenes of sex and violence. Penned by author Robert K Hatch, this fascinating work blends fact, fiction, and fantasy to chronicle the extraordinary lives of Blake Burmeister and his grandfather, archaeologist Dr. Henry Covington. Despite facing skepticism from their orthodox colleagues, Dr. Covington pursues evidence of ancient pre-flood high-tech civilizations. Supported by ancient documents and artifacts, their quest leads them into realms of legend, exploring a mythical crystal city and uncovering the secrets of the Atlanteans.

Author Robert K Hatch has crafted an immersive and enlightening novel that masterfully weaves together elements of mystery, adventure, and cosmic spirituality. The narrative unfolds with a sense of wonder and discovery, drawing readers into a world where ancient mysteries and mythical cities come to life, with a warm and confident voice that makes you feel as though no stone will be left unturned. Through the effective narration following Blake and Dr. Covington closely, the author covers themes of exploration, knowledge, and the interconnectedness of the physical and metaphysical realms. I enjoyed this emotional arc as it matched the challenges of the plot and made you feel connected to the characters as they grew and changed over time. The book's blend of fact and fantasy creates a rich tapestry of storytelling that feels authentic throughout, keeping readers engaged and rooted in emotional reality, even when the plot takes some more metaphysical turns. As the characters embark on their journey of discovery, readers are treated to a captivating blend of suspense, tragedy, and spiritual enlightenment that is well-balanced and never over-the-top. Overall, The First Citadel is a thought-provoking and exhilarating read that transports readers to a world of adventure and cosmic exploration, and I would not hesitate to recommend it
