Robert W. Ross

Robert W. Ross is the author of the #1 Best Selling Sentinels of Creation print and audiobook series. The first book in his new Sci-Fi series, Paradigm 2045: Trinity's Children, was released Fall of 2020. In addition to his work as an author, Robert has led the Artificial Intelligence and Experience Design efforts for a number of Fortune 100 companies. He is also a keynote speaker and guest-lecturer at both Georgia Tech and Kennesaw State University. He has both a passion for pop culture and a loathing to discuss himself in the third person. However, his wife convinced him that anyone who took the time to seek out his author's page might want to know a little about the person who wrote those books. To that end, Robert’s influences include authors such as Robert A. Heinlein, Philip Jose Farmer, and Brandon Sanderson. He has a deep and abiding love for all things Star Trek, Doctor Who, and Sponge Bob. While Robert can often make obscure TV, Book, and Movie references, he sadly lacks one of his protagonist's eidetic memory. Robert is also quite sure the brain space taken up by all that trivia is directly responsible for his lacking any sense of direction. In 2016, Robert published the first print and audiobook in the seven part Sentinels of Creation series. The award-winning series has been featured by Amazon, Audible, and Audiobook Reviews while having garnered greater than 4.8 Stars across all three platforms. In January of 2021, the sixth book, A Scion of Amber Light, will be published simultaneously in all formats: Print, e-Book, and Audiobook. Later that year, the second Paradigm 2045 book, Humanity's Children will be released as well. In both interviews and reviews, Robert's unique blend of pop-culture, alternate history, magical systems, and strong female characters have been highlighted as key factors in the series’ success. Given the intense interest in his female protagonists, he has agreed to write two novellas that highlight their origins. The first novella, Isabella's Campaign, was published in September, 2019 as part of the Storming Area 51 anthology that Robert supported along with a number of wonderful authors he's met along the way. Robert's second series, Paradigm 2045, leverages the hard science side of his experiences while still weaving in the humor and character banter which are hallmarks of his writing style. Outside of Robert's business and writing commitments, he enjoys helping facilitate the collaboration between authors, cover artists, and audiobook voice actors. He is a big believer that such collaboration can make its own magic, causing an already great story to become even greater. For Robert, this magic is the product of his personal collaboration and friendship with narrator, Nick Podehl and Greek artist, George Patsouras. Robert lives in Atlanta with his wife, kids, and about eleven different Apple products. He is a fierce advocate for children with special needs, their parents, and the local organizations that support both.
