Robin Sloan
Robin Sloan is an American best-selling author.[1] His debut novel, Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore is about a laid-off Silicon Valley tech worker who begins working at a dusty bookstore with very few customers, only to start discovering one secret after another. The mysterious old books, along with the store's owner, lead to a 500 year old secret society.[2] He graduated from Athens High School in Troy, Michigan in 1998 and went to school at Michigan State University, where he studied economics and co-founded a literary magazine called Oats.[3][4][5]
