Robert J. Krog is a native of Memphis, TN, where he still resides with his family. Mr. Krog is a devout Catholic and a member of the Knights of Columbus. He has been an assistant arborist to his father, who was a professional arborist. He has also been a grocery store clerk, a waiter for one week, an order out delivery guy for one week, a legal runner, a substitute teacher, and a high school History teacher, all in Memphis, TN. He has several degrees, mostly in History, but is putting none of them to good use, though he loves History and can still translate Middle Egyptian, if he works at it (and maybe Hieratic, if he really works at it). Currently, he works in chemical yard care and writes as much as obligations to a full-time job, the church, and family life allow. His published works include The Stone Maiden and Other Tales, the novella A Bag Full of Eyes, and many short stories, most recently, Thursday Morrow, in Capes and Clockwork, from Dark Oak Press, and The Serpent and the Dagger, in A Tall Ship, a Star, and Plunder, of which he is also the editor, also from Dark Oak. He continues to write and is working on finishing several novels.
