I've been a student, a teacher, a writer, an editor, and learned that awards and money are fleeting, but the reward comes in just telling a good story.

After working in public relations and editing for twenty years, I became a professor of communication in Texas for another 23 years. Then came retirement, un-retirement, and part-time teaching. Retirement, after all, is pretty boring.

I'm a husband of a loving wife for more than 50 years, have two grown children, and two grandsons. I love kayaking, reading, writing, computer games, home repairs, and dogs.

I've written 28 books, 200 articles and stories, and still consider myself a student of the craft with much to learn. I write mostly Christian suspense, but dabble in other areas occasionally

If it is distractions, I move to another location to write. If is not being inspired, I read a book, watch a movie or, better yet, bull ahead even though what I write may not be inspired. Most times I go back and read it and it's no better or worse than the stuff I write when I think I'm inspired.(less)

I am glad I won this book from a Goodreads Giveaway. I enjoyed this book as well as the message it delivers. The lines are being blurred with politics and religion especially now and this book is a good example of what is happening of what " Read more of this review »

Quotes by Glen Robinson  (?)

“Time is relative, Einstein tells us. It’s an artificial construct that we have created to remind us that we are finite, mortal. The universe doesn’t wear a wristwatch. And thankfully, I decided to stop wearing one the day I found out I had terminal cancer." --My Own Personal Singularity”
Glen Robinson

“Barefoot, exhausted and bloody, Harris Borden turned and left the underground prison that had been his home for the past twelve years and walked out into the Nevada desert.”
Glen Robinson, Elijah

“Halloo down there,” the voice said. Ziba saw a burly soldier in armor standing at the edge of the cliff. “Are you Israelites?”
“We are,” Jonathan said.
“We thought all of the Israelites were still hiding in the caves.” Ziba heard others laughing and could tell that they had been drinking. “We have plenty of wine here if you want to come join us. We even have some of your countrymen who are now in our army.”
“If we come up there, it will be only to fight and kill you,” Jonathan said.
The Philistine laughed. “Well, then, come on up. It’s plenty boring up here. Maybe you can liven things up, small as you are.”
Jonathan looked at Ziba, who then nodded.
“We’ll be right up,” Jonathan shouted back.”

“Then it’s decided. In the end, we are just as mortal as man. But while God will save a few, we will corrupt and destroy the rest of them. That is the best way to hurt Him. While many worship what you represent, most will come to believe that the existence of God is a myth.”
The woman spoke up. “But if they think He is a myth, won’t they think that you don’t exist either?”
The Chairman smiled broadly this time.
“Exactly.”
