The Vampire Patrons (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780983721703)

Robert Gruett grew up in Carol Stream, Illinois, and was homeschooled from 3rd grade through 8th grade. It was during those early years of being taught from the dining room table that he began writing a series of science fiction stories, first using pen and paper, then on an electric typewriter, and finally on his parents' trusty Commodore 128. Today, Robert lives in Aurora, Illinois, with his wife, daughter, son, two cats, and dog. While not writing fiction, he dabbles in photography. Officially, the IT industry pays the bills, but Robert hopes to one day give up the daily grind of systems support in favor of becoming a full-time writer instead.
