Rob Swigart

I began my writing career as a cub reporter at the Cincinnati Enquirer. While working for a major publishing company in the 1960s, I sensed the sudden influx of newly minted MBAs was a harbinger of traditional publishing's decline. I ignored my trepidations and the advice of my parents and plunged into a writing career anyway, though I did hedge my bets by getting a PhD in Comparative Literature. I paid the bills by teaching at the university level. Concurrently, I worked as a technology journalist and technical writer, scripted computer games and a television episode, published several novels and a hundred or so poems, did story, scenario and report writing for the Institute for the Future in Palo Alto, CA, and generally had a very good time. Most of my novels are available from on-line sellers like Amazon or Barnes and Noble. Several are also available as eBooks.
