Robert Charrette is an award-winning game designer and miniature sculptor as well as a writer. He continues to pursue these careers, as well as sculpting the occasional fine-art bronze while constructing assorted items for his fourteenth-century re-enactment hobby and attempting to keep current on a variety of eclectic interests, including dinosaurian paleontology and Japanese history. He currently resides in Springfield, Virginia, with his wife Elizabeth, who patiently listens to his constant complaints of insufficient time.
