Arthur Russell Smith is a first-time author from Hanover, MA. He currently resides in Charlestown, MA with his 2.6 lb. teacup Yorkshire terrier, Gizmo.
Growing up, Arthur loved to read, with some of his favorite books including The Hardy Boys series and James and the Giant Peach. As a child, he also loved to write, authoring and illustrating three bare books: Dinosaur Duo, Bird Feeding, and Nintendo: Game Tips and Strategies (for the OG NES of course!).
Upon entering university, he planned to study English literature however he discovered a love for science and focused on biochemistry. After college, he spent nearly a decade working in the lab as a scientist, before moving to the business side of science, working in the life sciences and biotech industries for nearly 20 years.
When not working on his latest story for The Robe Squad, he loves spending time with his family, including his parents, his two brothers, and four nieces and nephews. He loves building Legos, listening to podcasts, and reading. He is also a huge fan of all Boston sports teams, especially the Boston Celtics.
