Biographie de l'auteur

In the sixties and early seventies The Harrad Experiment and Proposition 31 became watchwords for the "hippie generation". As millions of students on campuses across the country read and talked about his books, little did they know, their hero was well past thirty.Bob started writing early in life.

With fourteen novels to his credit and still going strong, this author has not only bro
