About Rob Mohr
about the author
Rob’s creative lineage traced back to his grandmother MacQueen, who hung a hand-painted replica of Rembrandt’s Night Watch in her living room—the women in his family who stewarded culture across generations. Born into a lineage of expansive dreamers, he channeled their vision into writing that wove together the raw edges of human experience.
Trained in the arts, Rob painted in New York City before his work earned him an Artist-in-Residence position at the University of Georgia. While Atlanta’s thriving arts scene fueled his career, his poetry and short stories carved a parallel path, sharpened by an unflinching curiosity about marginalized voices.
Paulo Freire’s Pedagogy of the Oppressed anchored his philosophy early on, driving him to expose systemic oppression through fiction. His narratives refuse evasion, confronting greed and power with stories steeped in cultural authenticity, love, and the friction of human connection.
Rob’s work bridges the tangible and the intangible, grounding spiritual dimensions in visceral realities. This duality infuses his novels with layers of meaning rarely explored in contemporary fiction, offering readers not just stories, but portals to reckon with truth.
