First, my book.

This crowning and somewhat agonizing achievement, was published by Skyhorse Press in 2014. Since then, it's remained #408 on Amazon's Scuba Diving booklist (it has nothing to do with scuba diving—or horses, for that matter). Anyway, I guess this—and my many blogs—summarizes my 46 years as a writer, and I hope you'll remember robertcormack.net when you want something good (and funny) to read. Check out Amazon.com

TRAINS OF THOUGHT

ABOUT ME

IMG_1352 bw 1.jpg

I was an advertising guy for more years than I'd care to admit. I did a lousy impression of Don Draper (an even worse one of Melvyn Douglas). Throughout my career, I wrote short stories (26 in Rosebud Magazine), many blogs, newspaper articles and, of course, my novel "You Can Lead a Horse to Water (But You Can't Make It Scuba Dive)"

MY PICK

OF THE MONTH

Screen Shot 2021-05-23 at 3.26.02 PM.png

If you aren't familiar with The Kinkster, nothing says Texas like Kinky's broad and beatific anecdotes of The Lone Star state. This is a book of humorous tales, folks, and nobody captures the many cowboys, hucksters, musicians and other outrageous personalities with such a sense of quaint yet hilarious anecdotes, all in a style that matches the state to a tee. Kinky Friedman is a world-class charmer and a helluva writer to boot!
