About

Just turned 40, living in the Chicago area since 1986 and into writing and photography. I'm a voracious reader and open to most genres. As an author, I've published "Carriage Returns" (poetry from 1988-2008) and "Romantic Confessions" (poetry and haiku 2008-2009).

In 2010, I started exploring e-books/e-readers and decided to publish a book in serial format. Dark Bites is a four-part horror e-book series. Four women... four tales of death and spine-tingling horror. Explore new twists on classic horror stories (zombies, werewolves, vampires and ghosts). These are the women of Dark Bites.

<strong>Review:  &quot;</strong>The characters are engaging, often feisty, gritty and realistic. The dark description in these stories is quite exquisite. I LOVED this book A LOT. I would recommend it to anyone who likes horror, and dare those with a more sensitive stomach to dare to take a peek!&quot; <strong>-- frustratedyukkymummy.blog.co.uk/2011/10/17/book-review-dark-bites-4-tales-of-horror-by-robert-ropars-12029116/</strong><br /><strong><br />Review:  &quot;</strong>I was pleasantly surprised by the calibre of writing.
