About Rob
"The Canadian kid making his name in international espionage."
Robert Ushy was born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Transcona, God’s Country to be exact, but has often called the world as his home. After a brief pursuit with professional baseball, Rob began traveling in his down time, visiting and exploring cities and cultures all across Europe, New Zealand, Australia and Africa.
“I only have one thing on my bucket list. Have a beer in every country of the world.”
Through his travels, Rob began volunteering with wildlife organizations, making key stops in Romania and South Africa. His time in the Zululand was where the inspiration for The Ivory Betrayal and GAARD originated. Intent on combining his creativeness with real life experiences, his conceived worlds often include sights seen and places he has personally visited.
Currently self publishing, Rob is constantly expanding his research, timelines and devotion towards the next adventure for his readers. His latest work, The Prague Reprisal was named the Finalist 2022 American Book Fest Adventure Book of the Year. The second novel in the GAARD series, Protecting The Pride is a fun and exhilarating sequel, while the critically acclaimed The Zodiac Connection is a page-turning political thriller.
While away from writing, Rob still has a passion for baseball. Playing and coaching internationally while renown for championships in Canada, Australia and across Europe. Traveling and visiting new countries, cities and cultures will always be part of his nature while also having a modest streak of an adrenalin junkie at heart. Rob loves skydiving and has ventured in a few of his stops along his journey.
“I am blessed to know and am able to call so many people around the world, friends.”
