Robert Spearman grew up in Hahira, Georgia, fifteen miles north of Valdosta. He attended Lowndes High School in Valdosta and Georgia Christian School in Dasher, Georgia. He has lived the past ten years in China and Southeast Asia and attended Beijing Normal University in Zhuhai, China. He is fluent in Mandarin Chinese and speaks enough Cantonese and Thai to "get him in trouble."
He is currently working on his second novel, "Obadiah: A Ghost's Story", which will be released early in 2017, a sequel to "Carnies and Wildcats" entitled "Escape from Oddities", and a sci-fi novel entitled "The Donner Syndrome" both due to be released in mid-2018.
Allen Ridley walks around Valdosta masquerading as a human being though he's the vilest man who ever lived. From the moment his sister was born, Allen has been filled with a hate too volatile to be borne by lesser men. Dark secrets that blackened his past move into the present, creating fresh rage that fouls any space Allen touches.
