Rob Bartley is a self-proclaimed nerd and avid D&D player.

Being immersed in the worlds of Fantasy and Science Fiction since the early 80s, Rob's journey as an author began with “The Stars at Knight.” His debut novel was the first of a four-book series, drawing readers into a Texas-centric "Supernatural" adventure.
