My name is Robert Duperre, and I live in the middle of Connecticut with my artist wife, who's far too good for me, and a rambunctious mutt of a dog. As a lover of romance, cosmic horror, fantasy, and science fiction, I'm a writer who can't seem to stick in any particular genre. The only true constant is that I write what I'd want to read.

I've published more than a dozen novels and two short story collections. Included in my work is the 4-book post-apocalyptic series The Rift, the 5-book urban fantasy series The Infinity Trials, and the 3-part dark fantasy series The Breaking World (written with David Dalglish), along with the one-shot science fiction novel Silas, among a few others. ...more

Reading time!

First of all, for those of you who want updates on the status of "God in the Girl" and the end of The Infinity Trials, please hold tight. I'll have a post detailing the progress of that book soon.

Until then... who loves reading? We all do! So I wanted to take a few moments to rave about the books I've read over the last few months. The first of these I started in April; the last I finished literal Read more of this blog post »

Robert Duperre answered Roneshua Baltimore's question: Hello, Robert! Just wanted to pop in with a 2-in-1 question ( Side note, you and I have BEEF I tells ya! You slapped me in the face with that TBC at the end of A Lesson in Violence. That was quite rude lol) Do you have a # of Punga and silver siren series in mind? I'm so excited for Book 2. (Netgalley search hates me because I keep checking lol) Second Q, are they getting physically pub anywhere besides Zon? Oh man, learn me to not check my Goodreads! Hey there, Roneshua, the person who gave me probably my favorite review ever! For the series itself, my rough plan is anywhere from 15-20 books. I have 17 mapped out.

This is a great freaking book. I don't know how anyone could think any different. It makes creative use of genre tropes, flipping them around and creating something new. If anyone doesn't get that, well...they're a maroon. ...more

When I heard that Dalglish was attempting to throw his hat into the LitRPG ring, I was skeptical at first. Why the heck would anyone want to read a first-person account of someone playing a game? This isn't Critical Role, people! There's no table aro ...more

Quotes by Robert J. Duperre (?)

“His relationship history followed this same pattern. Two months represented a lengthy attachment for him, the point when he became either uninterested or irritated by how much of his free time was spent kneading the emotions and desires of someone else rather than his own.”
― Robert J. Duperre, The Rift: Volume One

I really dig how you review books with a five-score grading system to average out! That's much more thorough than how I do it. I may have to adopt your system.
