Rob Battle is an American story teller and novelist. Battle was born and raised in Hephzibah, Georgia. He had always showed an interest in writing short stories, songs, and poems. Due to Battle’s poor reading skills in school, his teachers did not encourage him to pursue that path. Serving 20 years in the US Navy and earning two degrees, Battle learned that the perception of others is not as important as the perception of yourself. ‘Rise of the Sons of Darkness’ tells the story of supernatural creatures with mental, physical, and/or social disabilities. Like most humans, sometime the supernatural have disabilities that are an easy spot. Sometimes a traumatic experience causes mental scars that cannot be seen. Through trial and tribulations, these supernatural beings prove that they should not be underestimated.
