Wrecks and Ruins Available Now


My new novel, Wrecks and Ruins, will be released by Loyola University’s Apprentice House Press on Tuesday, April 19, 2022—but you don’t have to wait until then. You can pre-order the novel as an ebook, trade paperback, or hardcover right now!

Stu strings together more than broken relationships, seeking art in the defective. After finding love, sabotaging it, and rekindling the fire again, Stu comes to understand that his drive to end relationships prematurely and his attraction to damaged goods are connected to his fear of being broken himself. Part romantic comedy, part buddy novel, Wrecks and Ruins finds beauty in the most unusual places.

Designed to Keep You Out


Before Silence of the Lambs or CSI came to light, Robert W. Walker was already writing popular mysteries about serial killers and forensics. With more than 50 novels to his name, Walker knows the publishing business.


When I spoke with Robert Walker years ago at the Maryland Writers' Conference, he offered this bit of encouragement to new writers: "The publishing industry is designed to keep you out." More about business than art, he explained that the industry is more interested in sure sales than potential new writers. There are tricks to help crack the door, but it can be as difficult as catching a serial killer—something he does often in his writing.


Learn more about Robert W. Walker at his nook on the Harper Collins site.
