The Helios Project
Robert Welsh was born in Philadelphia.  A lifelong fan of suspense and travel writing, he completed his first novel shortly after graduating from Yale University in 2001 with a degree in English.  He also possesses a law degree from Rutgers University and is admitted to the New Jersey Bar.  Welsh worked for three different prosecutor's offices while writing The Helios Project.  His short stories began appearing in literary magazines in 2012.  He counts William Golding and Dean Koontz among his literary influences and much of his writing reflects on mankind’s evolving perception of the paranormal in the age of instant communication and social media.  He lives with his wife, Joanna, in New Jersey.
