Robert J. Crane writes fast-paced urban fantasy and epic fantasy, with his Girl in the Box series as his most popular work. The series launched in 2012 with Alone, introducing Sienna Nealon, a teenager with dangerous abilities who has been locked in her house by her mother for her entire life. When she breaks free, she enters a world of metahumans, secret agencies, and powerful enemies. The series grew to over a dozen books and continued in the Out of the Box sequel series.

Crane also writes epic fantasy with his Sanctuary and Southern Watch series, and the Ashes of Luukessia books. His Liars and Thieves series moves into a grittier fantasy direction. Across all his work, Crane favors strong action sequences and protagonists who face escalating threats with each book. He self-publishes and releases new titles frequently, building a substantial backlist for readers who want long-running series.
