About

Anthony H. Roberts graduated from Texas A&M at Commerce, deep in the heart of East Texas where all things are possible, but not all are welcome. His first novel, Sons of the Great Satan, is based on his experience as a teenager during the Iranian Revolution of 1979. As a child Mr. Roberts spent five years exploring the deserts of Saudi Arabia followed by three years as a teenager in Tehran, Iran until the fall of the Shah forced the evacuation of all American expatriates. Born of mixed heritage (Irish and Native American) and having experienced life in Christian, Islamic, and Buddhist communities, Mr. Roberts has always been interested in the commonality of peoples. He has worked as a Civil War archivist, a Litigation Consultant at Pearl Harbor, and as an award-winning story teller at one of the world's largest cattle ranches located on the Big Island of Hawai'i. In addition to his love of writing and story telling, he is the Executive Director of a non-profit society dedicated to preserving the Paniolo (cowboy) heritage of Hawai'i. Calling both Texas and Hawaii home, he spends most of his days on the Big Island of Hawai'i with his lovely Kiwi wife, awesome Cherokiwi son, and his faithful companion, Ziggy the Boxador. Mr. Roberts is currently working on a sequel to SONS OF THE GREAT SATAN and a fantasy trilogy set in Hawai'i.
