Biography

I am a man of many varied talents. I love writing and providing quality literature for children and adults and have been busy as of late promoting my various literary works. I also am fond of my celtic ancestry and play the bagpipes as often as occasion permits. I am known as " Piper Bob" , my close knit circles. If you are ever in Salt Lake City, Utah and find yourself meandering down its quaint streets you may hear the lilting tones of the bagpipe. Chances are fairly good that if you follow those tones you will be lead to me; I welcome your comments and look forward to sharing my various literary works. Slainte.

Smashwords Interview

What got you interested in writing children's books?
As a father of five and grandfather of nine, I have always been keen to find engaging literature for my children. I began writing stories when they were very young. Secondly, my wife is an educator working with younger students. One day she was complaining about the lack of quality teaching materials and I said, "Why don't I write some books to help you teach science." I was actually joking but she jumped on the suggestion and voila, The Gumshoe Archives were born. I now have three grade level book series under construction and they are becoming quite popular.
Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I was raised in various places. My parents separated when I was only 6 months old. Most of my life was spent in the shelter of the rocky mountains of Salt Lake City, however I spent summers in Oregon with my father. I was exposed to many types of people, cultures and environments. I loved to write stories about the places I would visit and with such a wide range and selection of examples it became a wonderful way to explore my literary talent.
