Robert Kroese

I'm the author of 33 novels, founder of BasedCon and the Based SF&F Book Club, and co-founder of Upstream Reviews.

They tell me that I'm supposed to pick a genre and stick to it. Something about "algorithms." I've never been very good at following rules. This is why I'm a Bad Novelist.
