Robert Marsh is a Chief Ontological Designer and globally acclaimed author of titles such as "When Barry Met Jilly", and "All The Queen's Men". He first hit fame with his 1903 book which accurately predicted the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party. His book, fortuitously entitled "Adolf and The Nazi's" became a global best seller and has consistently remained in the top ten most read books as voted by GoodReads' members.It is assumed that Robert is from the future, as all his futuristic books are deadly accurate - as if he just knows. In researching for this bio, we did email Robert to ask him where he gets his ideas from. He just smiled wistfully.He's written many books, but until recently was hesitant to publish any. That changed one night, when he received a visit from the baby Jesus, not in a dream, but in real-life. "For God's sake, just publish them already!" was the advice he received. Since then, he's not hesitated, and has a shedload of books he intends to inflict upon us.Robert lives in a tiny village in deepest, darkest Kent (England) with his wife and children, dog, cat and banjo. If he's not writing, he will be designing ontological things or playing his banjo to his dog, Grok.You can find out more about Robert Marsh and connect with him on social media at www.robertmarsh.co.uk.
