By day, Robert Evert is an old and decrepit university professor who teaches hordes of smelly college students who rarely deign to look up from their damned phones to pay attention to the many brilliant and exciting things he has to say in class. By night, he is an aspiring writer.

His father wants him to kill the king's son." It's about a son who tries to live up to his father's overwhelming expectations while attempting to figure out who he wants to be.

Robert Evert Hey everybody!! Sorry for the long absence. I just went up for promotion to Professor and it took all of my free time.

However, I have some NEWS!!! My wonderful agent is in the process of negotiating a contract for a new series... tentatively called QUESTS OF THE KINGS. Hopefully you'll all enjoy it. I'll keep you posted.

Also!!! Riddle in Stone will soon be out in print!!! So if you are like me and prefer to have an actual book in your hand, you'll have that option!

Now that I'm officially PROFESSOR Evert, I can skip work and start writing more!

Hope you're all well!

Happy reading!

-Rob
