Hi Paula!
Thanks so much for checking in! Well... it's taken me a while to flesh out the latest storyline, but I've got it and started writing last week. I hope to have it completed and to my editor within two months. I will definitely keep you updated! Thanks again.

Hey Michelle!
Thanks for the question (and the great review)! When I think about it carefully, the concept of Angela's character came first - but honestly, she was developed only a few seconds before the storyline with Philip and Jonathan. I won't go into detail here, (it's a long answer) but if you read my blog, "Where the HELL did Angela come from?", you'll be able to see why I responded to this question the way I did. Thanks again for the question and I hope it's one of many...!

Is this really me?

Rob Kaufman writes psychological thrillers from a place of controlled unease. His work suggests a mind acutely attuned to what people suppress rather than what they reveal. He is less interested in spectacle or overt violence than in the quiet moments where a character hesitates, lies, or rationalizes a choice they already know is wrong. For Kaufman, tension is not created by action alone but by p

“Tell me you’re happy and I’ll leave you alone. Tell me this is the life you’ve always wanted for yourself and I won’t say another word.” He leaned in toward me, still meeting my gaze. “Be honest. Tell me this is what you want, and I’ll stop.”

“Just because some people are fueled by drama doesn't mean you have to attend the performance.”
Cheryl Richardson

“Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once.
Of all the wonders that I yet have heard,
It seems to me most strange that men should fear;
Seeing that death, a necessary end,
Will come when it will come.”
William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar

Rob Rosen Rob, hi. Hope all is well. Since we’re Goodreads friends, I thought I’d share my latest novel, Midlife Crisis, with you.

"Rob Rosen does madcap gay humor better than anyone else writing today. Midlife Crisis is no exception." - Neil Plakcy, author of The Mahu Investigations

I hope you can pick up a copy. As a special thanks for your time, feel free to message me on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/therobrosen) for a free PDF copy of any of my other 9 novels, which you can find here: http://www.therobrosen.com

All the best,

Rob Rosen


Monika Merry Christmas Rob!
