Robert Asprin
Robert Asprin (1946-2008) was an American author of science fiction and fantasy novels and stories. He is the author of the Myth Adventures and Phule’s Company series, and also created the Thieves’ World series. Robert was a frequent collaborator with his then-wife, Lynn Abbey, Jody Lynn Nye and others. He died from a heart attack at home in 2008, next to a Terry Pratchett novel.

Robert Lynn Asprin became a published novelist in 1977 with the novel The Cold Cash War.
