He started his writing career in 2009 writing non-fiction but switched to writing fantasy novels in 2011 to help his father, Dan Zangari. Since 1991, Dan had been writing a fantasy epic but due to other responsibilities the work was never completed. However in 2011 Robert began working with his father. Together they created a new series based on Dan's original concepts called, Tales of the Amulet.
