My new novel The Big Sheep doesn’t come out until June 28, but reviews are starting to trickle in. I’m thrilled to say that the response so far has been overwhelmingly positive. Feast your eyes on these excerpts for a minute and then I’ll tell you how you can get a signed copy of The Big Sheep–and have a chance to win a Kindle Fire along with ten awesome scifi books. “Those who miss the quirky, funny “Dirk Gently” sf/mysteries of Douglas Adams will want […]
I got an interesting email the other day. It’s not uncommon for me to get emails asking for advice, help plugging a book, or offering me some service. Generally these emails range from midly annoying (“I can give your website more visibility!”) to downright insulting (“Can you tell me how you managed to get a publishing contract?”). I ignore at least 90% of these, and the few that I deem worth of a response I usually reply with a curt […]

My scifi noir novel The Big Sheep isn’t even available yet in stores, and I’m giving you a chance to win one absolutely free. A shipment of hardcovers just arrived from my publisher, and they look awesome. I’ve already read the book, though, so I don’t really need five copies. Ergo, I’m giving them away. I’ll even sign them and maybe draw you a picture of a sheep. All you have to do is go here and enter your email […]
“Maybe Robert Kroese’s latest sci-fi novel, The Big Sheep, isn’t co-authored by Phillip Dick, but it does the late great author some serious homage. At the same time…and this is remarkable… Kroese has conjured up a thoroughly original, stunningly intelligent plot that both thrilled and delighted me. It also made me laugh. A riveting, hallucinatory joy-ride into a dangerous future by a terrific author writing at the top of his game.” –Vincent Zandri, New York Times and USA Today bestselling […]
For a very limited time, you can get my quantum physics noir thriller, Schrodinger’s Gat, for only $99 cents! This is a crazy deal on a crazy-ass book. It’s not for everybody, but if you like mysteries that make you think (and possibly cause you to question the fundamental nature of reality), this is the book for you. The Future Fights Back Paul Bayes has begun to feel like all of his actions are dictated by forces beyond his control. But […]
