Robert Brighton Author

Award-winning author Robert Brighton is an authority on the Gilded Age, and a believer that the Victorian era was anything but stuffy. On the contrary, in his books Brighton exposes the turbulent passions of the era, always bubbling just below the surface — brought to life through a process of painstaking research.

When he is not sniffing out unsolved mysteries, Brighton is a wanderer. He has traveled anonymously 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, Robert Brighton is an avid student of early 20th Century history and literature, an ardent and relentless investigator, and an ardent admirer of Emily Dickinson, Herman Melville, and Jim Morrison.
