Robin Moore

Since 1981, Robin Moore has made his full-time living as an author and storyteller. Long before his first book was published, Robin dreamed of being a writer. But he was unsure about how to begin. He had earned a degree in Journalism from The Pennsylvania State University and worked briefly on newspapers and magazines. While this was an excellent way to learn the writer's craft, Robin felt that something was missing. Sometimes the right book at the right time can change a person's life. Someone gave him a copy of Henry David Thoreau's "Walden". In a moment of clarity, Robin realized that this was what he wanted to do: Just as Thoreau had done, he wanted to move up into the woods and live the solitary writer's life. For two and a half years he lived in a cabin in the mountains of Central Pennsylvania with no running water, no indoor plumbing and no modern conveniences. He had no car, no job and no savings. It was then that the idea for his first book, "The Bread Sister of Sinking Creek", came to him. It took him seven years to write his first book. This was the real beginning of his journey as a writer. In the years soon after, he started a family and began a life-long career of writing and storytelling.

He has written more than a dozen books, published by the world's largest publishers and by his own publishing house, Groundhog Press. He served as a combat soldier in Vietnam, earned a Journalism Degree from Penn State University and worked as a newspaper reporter and magazine editor before beginning his career as a storyteller in spoken and written word. He holds a Master's Degree in Oral Traditions and serves on the faculty of the Oral Traditions Program at The Graduate Institute.

He and his wife live on the shores of Lake Galena,surrounded by a 1,300-acre nature preserve in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
