My late cousin and I used to take walks and talk about movies and novels we enjoyed. These are not set at odds with each other, but part of the whole cloth of the narrative. The series is a mythic hybrid drawing from a number of genres, from epic fantasy to supernatural to science fiction.

Probably not until I finished my first “real” novel in 1998 and realized that, clunky as it was, it was a complete, coherent story with the potential for broader audience appeal.Ĭan you share a little about your current book with us?īid the Gods Arise tells the story of two cousins sold into slavery on another world and getting caught up in the machinations of an ancient evil that hunts their souls. When did you first consider yourself a writer?

Coincidentally, my cousin and I were playing with the beginnings of a story at the time, and I decided to see if my instructor’s words were prophetic. Though I had done a number of smaller projects in my early years, I didn’t begin writing in earnest until I was in college, when an English teacher told me, upon reading one of my papers, that I was going to be a writer. I am interested in a number of eclectic subjects, most of which reside just off the borders of the known realm. My name is Robert Mullin, and I am a couch potato who has traveled to Africa three times in search of an animal whose physical description matches that of a living dinosaur. I am pleased to welcome him here on No Wasted Ink. He was featured on an episode of the History Channel’s television show, Monster Quest. Robert Mullin is a cryptozoologist who has traveled to Africa three times in search of a living dinosaur.
