Robert A. Rupp is a mystery science fiction writer and retired information technology executive living in Southwestern Michigan. A Michigan State University graduate and Vietnam War veteran, Robert uses his life experiences to write technically believable, character-driven mystery science fiction and has other novels in various stages of development. Robert enjoys putting ordinary people into extraordinary situations to connect life's exciting moments to an otherwise mundane life. In college, Robert studied communication arts with an emphasis on journalism and English, but his interest in writing did not take hold until later in life when he decided to document his Air Force experiences in Vietnam. In 1998, he connected with a published author, Bill Hoffman, on the Internet, who helped edit Robert's writing and mentored him on "tight" writing techniques. Since retiring, Robert has finally found the time to get his works in print. Over the years, he has written four books, including his unpublished war experiences, recently published Buck Fever and two novels to be published later this year. Robert’s influences include the writing styles of Michael Crichton, Dan Brown, Elmore Leonard and mentored on writing by Bill Hoffman.
