Hi! I’m Robert Burton Robinson. Thanks for visiting my blog.
My goal here is to inform and entertain as I talk about self-improvement and motivation in the areas of health and fitness, marriage and family, career, dating, and self development: “better living through common sense thinking.”
Of course, that which is common sense to me may be craziness to you. That’s fine. Let’s talk about it.
My Background
I began writing and posting fiction online in 2006, and have now completed three novels, two novellas and a dozen short stories. My books, Bicycle Shop Murder, Hideaway Hospital Murders, Illusion of Luck, Fly the Rain, and Sweet Ginger Poison, as well as my short stories are all available to read free at RobertBurtonRobinson.com.
I earned a Bachelor of Music degree and a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer and Information Sciences from Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas. I also did graduate work in both music and computer science.
I have worked in a wide variety of fields over the years, such as laborer, milkman, an electrician in a refinery, part-time and full-time music minister, establishing and running a small church music publishing company, and software engineering (computer programming).
I played guitar in a rock band in high school, wrote a screen play, several church musicals (some included drama, several were published), and a number of pop songs.
In my free time I enjoy spending time with family, guitar, and yoga.
