Robert Kroese has had a root canal in Transylvania and plastic surgery in Budapest. He once jumped aboard a moving freight train. Another time he climbed halfway up the Y in the Hollywood sign, for which he was rewarded with poison oak over most of his body. He is the founder of BasedCon and the author of thirty novels. His latest series is The Cross-Time Crusade. And it’s pronounced KROO-zee, believe it or not. You can find him online at: Badnovelist.com.
