From Open Road Media publishers: Born in New York City, Robert Newman (1909–1988) was among the pioneers of early radio and was chief writer for the *Inner Sanctum Mysteries* and *Murder at Midnight* — forerunners of *The Twilight Zone* that remain cult favorites to this day. In 1944 Newman was put in charge of the radio campaign to reelect Franklin D. Roosevelt. He was also one of the founding members of the Radio Writers Guild, which became the Writers Guild of America. In 1973 Newman began writing books for children, most notably the Andrew Tillett, Sara Wiggins & Inspector Wyatt mysteries. The series takes place in Victorian London and follows the adventures of two teenage amateur detectives who begin as Baker Street Irregulars. Newman has also written books of fantasy, among them *Merlin’s Mistake* and *The Testing of Tertius*, and books based on myths and folklore including *Grettir the Strong*. He also published two adult novels. Newman was married to the writer Dorothy Crayder. Their daughter, Hila Feil, has also published novels for children and young adults. Newman lived his last days in Stonington, Connecticut.
