About the author
Robert Michael
21 books23 followersRobert 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. 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)
Favorite Music--Norah Jones, Dean Martin, A Cappella, AVB, Michael Buble, Eagles, Adele, 3 Doors Down, Billy Joel, Iron & Wine, James Taylor, Simon & Garfunkle, 5 Finger Death Punch (I know), and Little Big Town (Robert listens to a LOT of music

Outstanding! A novel filled with secrets, it pulls you in and you are there in Columbia experiencing what they are experiencing.

What a great read! Slow build to get you familiar with all of the characters. By the half way point it turns into a downwards flow that captures you to the very end! I thoroughly enjoyed it!!!
