Rob Samborn's Blog: Rob Samborn - Author of Historical Thrillers

Three years ago today, my debut novel, The Prisoner of Paradise, was released to the world.

Since then, I've completed the Painted Souls trilogy and launched the spinoff, The Swordsman of Venice.

The journey hasn’t been without its challenges—five different publishers later (including audio), the one constant has been my readers and the support from my communities. Thousands of people have been captivated by my dual-timeline thrillers, and that’s what keeps me writing. While some authors write for themselves, I write to transport you to other worlds.

I am deeply grateful to every reader, whether you’ve praised or critiqued my work. Your support and the communities I’m part of mean the world to me.

If you haven’t yet explored my novels, I'd be honored if you check them out. And for those eagerly awaiting more, stay tuned: The Swordsman of Venice Part II and the first book of a new series are on the horizon.

The Prisoner of Paradise
Rob Samborn

I am thrilled to announce the release of Master of the Abyss, the epic conclusion to my award-winning Painted Souls series.

The series is about an American couple who travel to Venice, Italy on what is supposed to be a dream vacation. Before they get settled in, the couple become entangled with a secret society that dates back to the sixteenth century.

As the series continues, they realize the society is much bigger than originally thought, with their tentacles reaching Madrid, Paris, and beyond. All three books are set in the present day and different time periods in the past.

Fans of Dan Brown, Diana Gabaldon, and Daniel Silva will love this riveting series that blends mystery and action with history and art.

While each book can be read as a standalone, I recommend beginning with The Prisoner of Paradise.

All the books are available as an e-book or paperback from all retailers, including your local bookshop (just ask if they don't have it in stock). The first two books are available as an audiobook and the audiobook for Master of the Abyss will come out in Q1 or Q2 next year.

Some select praise for Master of the Abyss:

"Simply unputdownable."
- Kiersten Modglin, bestselling author

"The riveting conclusion to the ultimate conspiracy thriller series."
- Jayne Ann Krentz, bestselling author

"A tour de force in modern fiction."
- Gary McAvoy, bestselling author

I am so excited to share my latest book with the world. Set in Venice and Madrid in the present and past, this historical thriller is "the ride of your past life."

The second novel in the Painted Souls series, it can be read as a standalone or follow-up to my award-winning debut, The Prisoner of Paradise.

I can't wait to hear what readers think!


Painter of the Damned Rob Samborn

The Swordsman of Venice has arrived!

Set in 1589, it follows the adventures of Angelo Mascari, as he longs to save his beloved Isabella, while being pursued by ruthless adversaries.

This 150-page novella is a companion to The Prisoner of Paradise and Painter of the Damned that can be read as a standalone, without needing to read either book. It's available exclusively as an e-book (for only 99 cents!) through Amazon. With plenty of action, mystery and adventure, it's the best entertainment you can buy for a buck. :-)
