Robert Sadler said of his military service, “I
was drafted while a Dallas Police officer, but enlisted to get into the MP's. I served in the Army from
February 1968 to November 1970 when, coming back from a one-year tour in Vietnam, I received a three-month early-out.
As I had been in civilian law enforcement I was sent to a Military Police battalion after basic training, foregoing
the usual OJT MOS schools. But a couple of weeks later my typing skills (which were noted on my 201) got
me pulled off the line and into HQ. As a Specialist Five, the same thing happened when I went to Vietnam
in November 1969. I ended up at I Corp, 101st Airborne, HQ in Phu Bai, pulling administrative duties.”
“As an artist and photographer Robert’s
works have been shown and sold across the country. Having written over 3600 poems his award-winning poetry
has been published in Listening to the Birth of Crystals, an international poetry anthology edited and published in England,
and in The Raintown Review, [Editor: Pulitzer Prize Nominated Poet, Harvey Stanbrough]. Robert’s English translation
of Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer’s Spanish poem, “Volverán Las Oscuras Golondrinas”, appeared in
the University of Texas at Dallas’ Sojourn – a journal of the arts Vol. 19 and his poem, GG’s Quilt was
recently published in the University of Louisiana at Lafayette’s special “Quilt” issue of Interdisciplinary
Humanities.
As a novelist, Robert has now written six novels.
He is writing his seventh in the series of novels that are subtitled: “from the Black Book Investigations of
Michael Grant & Associates.” Jamaica Moon was followed in publication by Judas Oracle in December
2009. His third book in the series And… Never Again was released on November 10, 2010.
Next in the series is Innocent And Guilty and it is scheduled for future publication, a release date has not been announced.
Robert is also working on a true-crime novel based on the infamous Friendly Burglar Rapist case mentioned above.
An
accomplished speaker, Robert has made presentations and conducted seminars across the country dealing with topics such as,
asset protection, security and corporate investigations, in particular Mortgage Fraud, as well as sales and sales techniques.
Robert is a Rotary past-president and Paul Harris Fellow. He was recognized in a D MAGAZINE article (May
1986) as one of Dallas’ top-ten Private Investigators.
According to the book description of And...
Never Again: from the Black Book Investigations of Michael Grant & Associates, “Hundreds of thousands
of lives, millions of animals and billions in property are at stake. And... Never Again, is the 3rd in the Michael Grant,
PI, mystery/suspense series. Terry Dean Ballard, a young terrorist who killed 19 innocents in Texas before escaping Michael's
grasp at the end of Judas Oracle, surfaces in Colorado bent on destruction. Ballard's Christmas day sabotage of area ski slopes
and towns kills 67 bringing his death toll to eighty-six. Ballard, a young computer geek, finds he excels as a user, abuser
and natural leader. He next focuses his cold careless fury on New Year's Eve. Leading a small gang of eco-terrorists, he plots
his next debacle. Above, millions of acre feet of water, Below the dam, a town, a chemical munitions storage facility. Can
Michael Grant and his team of 'agency' operatives stop the inevitable? How many more times can Michael Grant say: And... Never
Again.”
One reader of And... Never Again: from the
Black Book Investigations of Michael Grant & Associates, “I just read Robert J. Sadler's "And...Never
Again" fairly quickly, because I couldn't put it down unless I had to. The story drew me in and after a short time had
me living in the world of intrigue and action created through this work. Well-written, 'authentic' dialogue...and descriptions
of situations and action that's realistic to the point to make me a part of the story. With this book, I found myself literally
holding my breath turning certain pages and moving from one chapter to the next. "And...Never Again"
is a great stand-alone work; however, it IS the third in a series. So I now plan now to go back to the beginning and read
Mr. Sadler's other two books (which were just delivered yesterday)"Jamaica Moon" and "Judas Oracle". I
want to make sure I don't miss ANYTHING.”
