ABOUT ME
Bestselling author Robian Elbar writes fast-paced action thrillers. When he is not writing high-stakes twists and turns that challenge his complex and often tortured characters, he can be found training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and working out.
An accomplished Second Degree Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt, under Roger Gracie, Robian uses the sport to inform the actions scenes in the books. He is also the author of the Zen Jiu Jitsu series of books aimed at helping new students of BJJ undertand the concepts. Several of these books have reached Best Seller status and are widely read in the Jiu Jitsu community.
His love for writing comes second to his love of reading. A fan of Elmore Leonard, Lee Child and Ted Lewis, he used them as a source of inspiration for his dark thrillers.
Originally from Manchester in the UK, he spent several years living in the United States. Southern California to be exact where he started his Jiu Jitsu career. Already a writer, he worked as an online marketing specialist. Getting his clients more customers in the day, training BJJ and writing in the evening or early morning.
Returning to the UK in 2014, he opened his own Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy, and started to market his BJJ books, writing fiction as a secondary pursuit. Married to his wife, Julie, he resides in Northumberland in the UK.
He's currently working on two series: The Chase Keating Thrillers and The Rebekah Riga Mysteries.
