Robert Allen Michael, born October 20, 1969 in Weston, West Virginia began telling tales when he was eight. He started with ghost stories, like the ones he read in books and heard from his family. Late at night, he would spin these tales hoping to scare his sisters or impress his mother.

In eighth grade, Robert wrote his first short story, a sort of "Children of the Corn" knock-off. He wanted so badly to impress his teacher that he even drew a cover replete with dripping blood from the title, blurbs and fake reviews. The story was hand-written, but demonstrated his love for writing and ability to spin a yarn.

After that, Robert never really looked back. He wrote almost constantly. Dark Mountain, his first book is self published.

In eighth grade, Robert wrote his first short story, a sort of "Children of the Corn" knock-off. He wanted so badly to impress his teacher that he even drew a cover replete with dripping blood from the title, blurbs and fake reviews. The story was hand-written, but demonstrated his love for writing and ability to spin a yarn.

After that, Robert never really looked back. He wrote almost constantly. Dark Mountain, his first book is self published. It pays homage to his roots, spinning a dark tale about people who reside in the hills and a man who is searching for his faith.

Robert is an accomplished fisherman. He enjoys being stream side catching rainbow trout and small mouth bass. He is active at the Broken Arrow Church of Christ where he serves as a Bible class teacher, a deacon and a coach and mentor for teens. Robert is a voracious and eclectic reader. He is a member of Goodreads and you are welcome to friend him there to check out his library or books he is currently reading.

Robert is perhaps most proud of being a faithful husband and a devoted father of four children: Nathaniel, Eden, Seth and Isaac. His wife Tracey and he reside in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.

FUN FACTS:

Most embarrassing moment--dropping trow by accident while stripping out of his sweat pants at a track meet in 9th grade in Elkins, WV.

Favorite food--cheesecake of any variety. Home made chili. Guacamole. Baked Salmon.

Graduated--1987 from Lewis County High School

Degree--Bachelor of Arts in English (Oklahoma Christian, 1992)

Favorite Author--King, Tolkien, Hosseini, Ludlum, and Terry Brooks among others (Robert reads A LOT of books)

2016: The Promise

A new year.

Normally, I approach each new year with new optimism. Life will be incredible! Financial rewards will finally find me! I make promises for a slimmer me, a more devout me, a more spiritually aware me.

I am not always disappointed. I see growth. I see positive changes.

2016 doesn't feel like one of those years. It feels like it will all balance out. A "blah" year. Some good, some bad. S Read more of this blog post »

Nope. Sorry. Why, did you like it?"

I haven't read it yet. I was just going to tell the person who did recommend it to me, I am getting it from my library this weekend.
