Alex Robert

Alex Robert has lived most of his life in and around the outskirts of York. He is a family man, with a long-held passion for writing, who grew up unsure of what career path to follow. While writing has always been his first love, it disappeared into the fog that is real life, leaving him to forge a moderately successful career in an office. Having spent twenty years finding reasons not to put pen to paper, he finally took the plunge and has never regretted the decision.

His first novel Death Sketches was a story that has been bubbling away in his head for too many years. Alex openly admits it came as a relief to finally see the characters brought to life.


There will be plenty more adventures for some of the characters in the book while others will meet an unfortunate end. That allows the books to stay fresh and new characters to be introduced even if some of the demises might be sudden. With tongue in cheek, Alex offers the view that it prevents undue suffering on their part. In truth, it is designed to keep readers enthralled.
