Robert Duke

Robert grew up in Phoenix, Arizona, where he began imagining unique stories of superheroes and villains in fantastic tales told orally to his friends and family.

For nearly eight years, these characters remained only in his head before he took to writing down the first adventures of the universe he had crafted, taking extra care in the realism of both the science-fiction aspects as well as in the emotion and psychology of people at their most powerful—and most vulnerable.

Starting with Shatterbug, he hopes to tell a wide-reaching story to unite and inspire people, not under one common ideal of what the world should be like, but against the shared understanding of what the world should not be.

Robert currently lives in Cincinnati, Ohio, but hopes one day to return home to the desert.
