He finished his first full length novel, The Bully Affect, in 2008, the focus of which was also a life lesson. Bullying.A writing contest was the inspiration for his novella, The Tombstone Stranger. Written in less then two weeks and told from the prespective of a young boy growing up in the wild west the narration proved quite challenging."To talk with a drawl or accent is one thing, but to write that way was a lot harder then I thought it would be, but I think that is part of the charm of the story," Robert says.His next novel, Zoey Zimmerman and the Zombie Pigeon, was nearly two years in the making. This tale of a young girl that can talk to animals also has a fundamental life lesson at the heart, friendship."I really enjoy writing stories for young readers. If you can keep their interest with a good story and sneak in some important messages all the better."Robert resides in Phoenix, Arizona with his wife Jennifer and daughter Emma.view less
