Robert Dannon

During his career as an actor Robert Dannon has performed in over forty-five theatrical productions, mostly regional and Summer Stock. He has appeared in eight productions at the Bucks County Playhouse in New Hope, PA. However, he is most grateful for having been given the significant honor of being a member of the cast of ‘Playing for Time’, one of the most highly acclaimed TV Specials of all time, starring Vanessa Redgrave and Jane Alexander.

As a native born Philadelphian he was given the unique opportunity to perform in that city’s series of Bicentennial Street Plays in 1976.

Mr. Dannon has authored six novels, all but one of which are mysteries, and is currently writing his seventh, the third in the Tyler Dodd Series.

He now lives in Charlotte, NC with his wife and two sons.

“One of the great advantages of my life has been the opportunity to live in the states of Pennsylvania, California, Arizona, Colorado, Georgia and North Carolina. This has given me an understanding of the unique geographic and cultural fabric of these regions. In each case I have taken from the experience a great love and respect for the people, their indigenous traits, their values and the role they play in the great American experiment. (I am acutely aware of the differences between the American colonial heritage of Philadelphia and the adhoc culture of Hollywood.) I also lived in Japan for a year. In every one of my novels, no matter what the setting, you will find some expression of my love of country and its exceptionalism. It goes without saying that my readers will select their own indicators of literary style and qualities and will judge my work accordingly. That is implicit in the writing process.”
