Robert Jackson Bennett was born in Baton Rouge Louisiana but grew up in the half-developed
suburbs of Katy Texas. He spent most of his time playing on construction sites and in drainage
ditches which would explain a lot. His interest in writing came from hearing about the books
his older brother was reading and then attempting to mimic them. He attended the University of
Texas at Austin and like a lot of its alumni was unable to leave the charms of the city and
resides there currently.
