Robert Hough

After studying at Queen’s University, during which time he penned a satiric back-page column for one of the campus newspapers, Robert Hough became a free-lance writer in his native city of Toronto. His first novel, The Final Confession of Mabel Stark, was published all over the world, and the film rights were optioned by the director Sam Mendes. Since then, he has published seven similarly acclaimed titles: The Stowaway, The Culprits, Dr. Brinkley’s Tower, The Man Who Saved Henry Morgan, Diego’s Crossing, The Marriage of Rose Camilleri and his most recent, Anarchists in Love. He has two adult daughters, and lives in Toronto with his partner, the natural burial ground advocate Susan Greer.
