Об авторе

Robert L. “Bob” Moore was born in Boulder, Colorado, where he attended school, including the University of Colorado, from which he graduated in 1961 with a BA in English Literature. Before college, he served four years in the U.S. Air Force, three of which were spent in Europe. After college, he began a career in copywriting and advertising, retiring in 1992. He credits reading at an early age and encouragement from teachers for his interest in creative writing, which was put somewhat on hold during his working years. “With deadlines looming, writing everything required for your job for five or more days a week is exhausting. Except for notes about story ideas, I didn’t write much for myself.” After retiring, Bob was able to gather his notes and ideas, and—except for interruptions caused by “the muse that flies away,” as he puts it—he was able to resume creative writing. Bob has two daughters, Maela and Shauna, and a cat named Tuesday. He resides in Wichita, Kansas.
