Biography

Robert Thier is a German Historian and writer of Historical Fiction. His particular mix of history, romance and adventure, always with a good deal of humor thrown in, has gained him a diverse readership ranging from teenagers to retired grandmothers. For the way he manages to make history come alive, as if he himself had lived as a medieval knight, his fans all over the world have given him the nickname “Sir Rob”.

For him, Robert says, becoming a writer has followed naturally from his interest in history. “In Germany,” he says, “we use the same word for story and history. And I've always loved the one as much as the other. Becoming a storyteller, a writer, is what I've always wanted.”

Besides writing and researching in dusty old archives, on the lookout for a mystery to put into his next story, Robert enjoys classical music and long walks in the country. The helmet you see on the picture he does not wear because he is a cycling enthusiast, but to protect his literary skull in which a bone has been missing from birth. Robert lives in the south of Germany in a small village between the three Emperor's Mountains.

Smashwords Interview

When did you first start writing?
That's a difficult question to answer. I wrote essays in school, of course, but never had much success with my teachers. My parents, however, encouraged my reading and it was a big part of my life, due to health difficulties that prevented me from having many other hobbies. Over time, writing simply grew as a natural extension out of my love for reading books. It still took quite a while to switch from writing in my mother tongue, German, to writing in English, however. I only started writing English stories around the time I finished school.
What's the story behind your latest book?
It is the last book of my award-winning "Storm and Silence" series, bringing Lilly's and Mr Ambrose's story to a long-awaited finale. It's been one of the most fun books ever to write in my life.
