Robert Bartlett was born in Sydney,
Australia, and after finishing
secondary college, he was first employed by a small importing company at
Circular Quay in Sydney. In his
younger years, he enlisted as a part-time Signaler in the Australian Army
Citizens Military Forces (CMF) before transferring to the permanent Royal
Australian Air Force.
After completing a number of year’s
military service in the RAAF, he resigned and started employment in the
business and commercial industry where he went on to hold senior management
positions with a number of multi-national organisations.
Over the years and in his spare
time, Robert wrote regular articles for various community newspapers and is
currently a part-time freelance writer for a United
Kingdom web content communication company.
In 2005, he started concentrating
full time on developing his writing skills and completed his first book, Róisin,
in 2007. This was followed in 2008 by The Manx Deemster, which first
introduced the character of Alistair Allobrogicus. His latest book, The
Matroska Effect, released in 2009, is a sequel to The Manx Deemster. The
books are distributed to some retail bookstores in Australia and Overseas,
listed on a number of book websites and have been included in the catalogues of
State and Regional libraries throughout Australian. Robert is currently working
on another book with his main character, Alistair Allobrogicus, facing one of
his most challenging situations.
