Bob Grove

Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Bob now lives in the mountains of North Carolina. He earned his Bachelor of Arts at Kent State University and his Master of Science at Florida Atlantic University. He has taught courses in English, journalism and creative writing as well as the sciences and psychology.

Bob has been an ABC-TV public affairs director, an on-air personality, and the founder and publisher of Monitoring Times magazine. A prose critique facilitator for the North Carolina Writers Network and an officer with the Ridgeline Literary Alliance, he has published 22 books and hundreds of articles in 23 national magazines.

He has published a mystery novella (Secrets of Magnolia Manor), his titillating memoir (Misadventures of an Only Child), a collection of children’s stories (Adventures of Kaylie and Jimmy), and a number of flash fiction and non-fiction works which have been awarded four gold medals in the Silver Arts literature competition.

Bob’s public readings are popular as a performance art form, typified by his annual reading, in costume and dialect, of Dickens’s A Christmas Carol.
