About Me


The mental institute sticky name tag reads 'Rob Thurman-author'...beyond that those files are permanently sealed for your protection. My life is not that enthralling quite frankly. Today I wrote some, scratched my ass, and then ate a pizza. The delivery guy was late, but I tipped him anyway. Tune in tomorrow for more of the exciting saga. Now, don't you have better things to do with your life than read that?"My agent, on the other hand, had different (and no doubt wiser) ideas on the subject, and here we are. Myspace. Ten year olds and greasy sixty year old pedophiles can figure it out, but the damn thing has me stumped.My first book, Nightlife was published March 2006. The second in the series, Moonshine, hit the shelves March 2007. Madhouse will be out Feb. 26th 2008 and Book Four (untitled) has just been completed.Personally, hmmm...ah, an important one. I am female. Rob is short for Robyn. Quite a surprise to most, as was apparent at my first book signing. People looked to my right, left, behind, and eventually focused on a nearby loitering guy who was there delivering coffee to the bookstore (and never mind the distinctive you-know-who logo on his shirt.) Rob. Robyn. Female. I am woman, hear me...ah, hell, just get me a coffee with caramel and whipped cream.*far side of crazy, mortal enemy of man are from Wall Of Voodoo's amazing song, Far Side of Crazy

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Bullet-tooth Tony and his Desert Eagle .50.

My Space is the Left Hand of Darkness vs LJ

I admit it. I hate My Space. Eight year olds can operate this damn thing and it confounds me nine times out of ten. And it’s too goddamn busy. Ads flashing everywhere...if I were epileptic, I&rs...
