Favorite Quote: "Either write something worth reading, or do something worth writing." - Benjamin Franklin
ROBERT F. LACKEY draws from his experiences living in 38 locations in the United States and Europe. His longest location was in Havre de Grace, Maryland, which provided him the perspective and understanding to begin his Pulaski Saga. For much of his years in Havre de Grace, he spent many weekend afternoons exploring the remnants of the Susquehanna and Tidewater Canal. He fell in love with the little town sitting at the mouth of the Susquehanna River and head of the Chesapeake Bay. Among the many historic themes coexisting within the nearby sites and lanes, the Canal Era of the 19th century drew the author’s attention first. Stepping outside technical writing to complete his first novel, Pulaski’s Canal, Robert began a family story that has blossomed into a family saga. Blood on the Chesapeake was the first of several sequels to follow Pulaski’s Canal. His third Pulaski novel Raven's Risk was released in September 2017. The 4th Pulaski volume Kingdoms in the Marsh, was released June 6 2018, followed by a 5th volume, Brazen Deceit released October 2018. He is now writing his 6th Pulaski Volume, Serpent's Compromise, due out in June 2019, and plans additional sequels to follow the Pulaski family through the late 1800’s.
Robert's award-winning flash-fiction "A Tub in Memphis" is an alternate history of the Martin Luther King assassination. His other published flash fiction includes "Abe Cook", "Temple Saloon", "One Word", and dark flash fiction "Lights Out", "Rainy Night", "Copy Errors" and "Sweethearts." Robert is a Past President and current member of the South Carolina Writers Association ( http://www.myscwa.org/ )
