Robert C. Yeager

Robert C. Yeager’s 2013 novel, The Romanov Stone, won two national awards: an Independent Publishers' "Ippy" for Suspense/Thrillers and an IndieReader Discovery Award for General Fiction. A Vermont Studio Center Writing Fellow, he recently published his next novel, The Great Mogul.

Born in Los Angeles, Yeager earned his journalism degree at the University of California at Berkeley. In San Francisco, he reported for the Associated Press and for Business Week, the New York Times Service, and other national periodicals. His articles on sports violence were reprinted in the Sunday New York Times and Reader's Digest, and nominated for the National Magazine Award. His Reader's Digest originals covered a crashed plane rushing a child to a life-saving operation; the plight of infants born to drug addiction; a mother bringing her son's killer to justice. Elsewhere, he's chronicled the hostage takeover of a maternity ward; a family being stalked by a mountain lion; the roots of a town first surveyed by George Washington. Yeager's articles have appeared in the New York Times, Family Circle, Ladies Home Journal, and Woman's Day. Yeager lives in Oakland and The Sea Ranch, Calif.
