Robert W. Ross is the author of the critically acclaimed Sentinels of Creation and Paradigm 2045 contemporary fantasy and sci-fi print and audiobook series.  In addition to his work as an author, Robert has led the Artificial Intelligence and Experience Design efforts for a number of Fortune 100 companies.  He is also a keynote speaker and guest-lecturer at both Georgia Tech and Kennesaw State University.   In 2016, Robert published the first print and audiobook in the seven-part Sentinels of Creation series.  The award-winning series has been featured by Amazon, Audible, Goodreads, and Audiobook Reviews while having garnered greater than 4.8 Stars across all four platforms.   Robert’s second series, Paradigm 2045, debuted during Dragon Con’s virtual 2020 show.  It leverages the hard science side of his experiences while still weaving in the humor and character banter which are hallmarks of his writing style.  It has been honored with numerous awards, Including AudiobookReviewer.com’s Best Science Fiction series.   Last year, Robert also released his first stand-alone novel, the paranormal romance, One Heart that Beats for Two, which was honored with both best romance and best narrator for its voice actor, Autumn Juliet.   This year, Robert will release his new combined universe series, Argonauts of the Void.  The first book, To Sail Beyond the Darkness will combine characters from both Sentinels and Paradigm while also containing both sci-fi and fantasy elements.   Outside of Robert’s business and writing commitments, he enjoys helping facilitate the collaboration between authors, cover artists, and audiobook voice actors.  He is a big believer that such collaboration can make its own magic, causing an already great story to become even greater.  For Robert, this magic is the product of his personal collaboration and friendship with narrator, Nick Podehl and Greek artist, George Patsouras.   Robert lives in Atlanta with his wife, adult children, and about eleven different Apple products.  He is a fierce advocate for children with special needs, their parents, and the local organizations that support both.
