Robert Ullrich
Born in Marshall, Minnesota,
October 30, 1953
Third of six sons of Ron and Jeri Ullrich.
Served in the USAF during the Vietnam War

My desire to become a writer was a direct result of my father’s influence, though he didn’t know it. He was a voracious reader, to say the least. When I approached him at the age of 8 or 9 for something to read, (wanting to be like dad, you know), He handed me Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs. I read almost all of them in the next two years.
When I finished the Tarzan series, he handed me a Louis Lamour western, I believe it was titled the First Fast Draw. I consumed all his Lamour’s in less than a year. Next was Earl Stanley Gardner and Perry Mason. The seeds for crime fiction were well planted by Mr Robert Ullrich

When I approached him at the age of 8 or 9 for something to read, (wanting to be like dad, you know), He handed me Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs. I read almost all of them in the next two years.
When I finished the Tarzan series, he handed me a Louis Lamour western, I believe it was titled the First Fast Draw. I consumed all his Lamour’s in less than a year. Next was Earl Stanley Gardner and Perry Mason. The seeds for crime fiction were well planted by Mr. Gardner.
As a young teen I began to branch out on my own. I discovered Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings at thirteen. I read all three in less than a week, safely ensconced in our formal living room. It was the sanctuary in our home. No one could talk, or hassle one of his brothers, and I took full advantage.
Throughout the years I cannot even begin to count to number of novels I’ve read. In time, my favorites became Stephen King, James Clavell, James Michener, T.H. White, Anne Ric, John Sanford, Herman Wouk, Tolstoy and Dickens. It wasn’t until after writing my first novel, “Evolution of a Killer” that I heard of Lee Child. The very first review likened my main character, Lazarus Solaris to Lee Child’s Jack Reacher. I sort of panicked. (Fears of unintentional plagiarism or mimicking someone else’s MC would have forced me to pull my novel). Fortunately, though there are some similarities, their characters are nothing alike.
John Sanford’s Prey Series was my inspiration for the Lazarus Chronicles. I have read almost everything written by Mr. Sanford. I was fascinated by the continuity of his MC, Lucas Davenport. All the novels stand alone, but are also interconnected, as well as the Virgil (That effing) Flowers series.

My first publication was of poetry and musings, “Life and Death in a Single Breath” in 2016. I have been writing poetry for decades, and still do. I never intended to publish. My mother changed that when she asked me to promise I would share my work before she passed in 2010. I still don’t know if I am a good poet, or writer for that matter; simply because I am very hard on myself. I have received letters and emails from all over the world how one of my poems touched someone’s heart. That is good enough for me. If I touched only one person, and gave them hope, inspiration, comfort or encouragement I can ask for no better judgement as a poet.
The same has happened with my novels. I have been humbled by some of the reviews, and letters I’ve received. When I wrote “Evolution”, and my wife can bear witness, I simply hoped it didn’t suck. It didn’t. No, it’s not a literary masterpiece, but it ain’t bad from what the readers tell me.
The second of the Lazarus Chronicles, “Family Matters” did even better than Evolution at release, thanks to the readers base and fans I have now. I am presently on the first draft of the third installment, “Rogue Assassin.” It is scheduled for April 15th release, (my schedule anyway). I’ve also received input from some of my fans (and friends) to write faster. I take that as a compliment, but I must remind them I have a full-time job and am rebuilding life with my wife in Wisconsin after losing our home in Rockport, Texas – the setting for Evolution of a Killer – to Hurricane Harvey. It set me back 6 months on Family Matters as I worked on salvaging what I could and moving it to Wisconsin.
My personal favorite I’ve written is “Memoirs of the (not-so) Grim Reaper.” The reviews have been all over the board. One reader snort-laughed coffee, another had to work through the “cuss-words”, another skipped the middle and one just flat quit reading it 37% of the way in. All in all, the ratings have been good, and yes, there is a moral to th ...more
