Michael Robert (row-bare) is an author of speculative fiction hailing from the Pacific Northwest where he lives with his wife, two daughters, and entirely too many cats. He has a head filled with a nigh-encyclopedic recall of 80’s cartoons, a Kindle filled with unread books growing at a rate exponentially faster than he can read them, and a garage filled with little toy robots. Now that he has finally realized his lifelong ambition of achieving full-fledged super-villainy, he will likely go out to Thai food to celebrate. You can call him Mike Bob Squarepants at your own dire peril and ignore him on Twitter at @WordsOfRobert.
