Robert J Glover (Bob) was born in Passaic, New Jersey, to Irish/Italian/Spanish/English parents, (and probably more, "Mutt" for short). Grew up in Montclair, NJ. Worked in several industries for 30 years in the private sector from the Restaurant to the Financial sector and then finally ending up in the Pharmaceutical industry before ultimately moving to the Public sector working for the State of Massachusetts in downtown Boston (with an especially good view of the gold dome on the State house). His first and only book (at the moment), "Tuttle Leaves the Puddle," is an adventure of an Red Eared Slider Turtle and was written for his daughter Shannon. It came about after telling bedtime stories which eventually after stringing the short stories togethe, learning the details about the graphic and publishing industry, the children's book was born.
