With a love for reading and writing that started in his youth, Rob has traveled far to get to the place where he can now concentrate on breaking into the horror market.
Born and raised in the “micro-hood” of Portland, Oregon, he grew up as the oldest of three children, the son of a book-lover and a book-hater.
Over the years, he has been victimized by violent attackers, has victimized violent attackers, enlisted and mustered out honorably from the U.S. Army, taught martial arts, worked security, video store clerked, done window washing, tire retreading, and store stocking.
With writing, it was after two years of freelance stringer work that he tired of non-fiction and decided to use his love of the dark, personal terrors, and talent with words to do something more beneficial for his fellow man–
SCARE THE HELL OUT OF HIM.

DEEP CUTS ALERT…DEEP CUTS ALERT…DEEP CUTS ALERT….
Want to see a book signing done right? How about a chance to listen to genre icon Nancy Holder?
Then seize the moment to listen to Eunice Magill (one of the three editors behind “Deep Cuts,” along with Chris Marrs and Angel Leigh McCoy), Nancy Holder (who talks about her brain-scarring story “Crash Cart,” and “Deep Cuts” story contributor Stephen Woodworth, who shares some insider-information about his offering “Mr. Casey is in the House.”
So wish I could’ve been in attendance; they had champagne, cider, and cupcakes, with little accompanying plastic knives.
P.S.: During the signing, just a bit after the 58-minute mark, I get a shout out for my story “I Am Victim.” I mean: WOW! With the book’s other 18-authors, and loads of story recommendations authored by women artists, it’s probably the only shout I’m going to get. Can’t express how much a pleasure it is to be sharing pages with so many talented artists and icons.
WHOOP WHOOP!
