ABOUT THE AUTHOR: A gifted and distinguished writer, respected and skilled teacher and recipient of our nation’s highest flying honor, the Distinguished Flying Cross, Robert Stanek wrote over 200 books of both fiction and nonfiction in his 30-year career. Although his works were published and/or distributed by nearly every major US publisher, including Simon & Schuster, Penguin Random House, Macmillan, Microsoft, McGraw-Hill, Hachette, and HarperCollins, Robert operated against the grain and became the first breakout author of the digital publishing movement. The first to serialize an ebook, the first to e-author a bestseller, and the first to e-author a digital audio bestseller. Robert is the recipient of multiple awards recognizing his outstanding contributions and excellence in writing, and a recent nominee for a Lifetime Achievement award. Translated into 57 languages, Robert Stanek’s books have sold nearly 20 million copies worldwide.
