BIO
If Ed Harris and John Cena had a love child, it would be VERLON ROBERTS — inside and out. (And yes, it’s Verlon, like Merlin the magician—just swap the M for a V.) While he’s never donned a magician’s hat, Verlon has worn plenty of others: screenwriter, actor, and retired United States Marine.
He writes primarily in the action and comedy spaces, often blending both genres with a sharp eye for story and heart. At the core of his work are themes of identity and purpose—delivered with grit, humor, and a punch.
