Autorenporträt

Award-winning author Robert Brighton is an authority on the Gilded Age, and a great believer that the Victorian era was anything but stuffy. In his Avenging Angel Detective Agency(TM) Mysteries, Brighton exposes the turbulence of the era - its passions, dreams, and disasters -- against a backdrop of careful research on the places, sights, sounds, and smells of the time. When he is not walking the streets in the footsteps of the Avenging Angels, sniffing out unsolved mysteries, Brighton is a wanderer. He has traveled in more than 50 countries around the world, personally throwing himself into every situation his characters will face -- from underground ruins to opium dens -- and (so far) living to tell about it. A graduate of the Sorbonne, Paris, Brighton is an avid student of early 20 th Century history and literature, an ardent and relentless investigator, and an admirer of Emily Dickinson and Jim Morrison. He lives in Virginia with his wife and their two cats.
