BIO
In addition to a career as a journalist, newspaper editor, publisher and media executive, Robb Grindstaff has written fiction most of his life. The newspaper biz has taken him from Phoenix, Arizona, to small towns in North Carolina, Texas, and Wisconsin, from seven years in Washington, D.C., to five years in Asia. Born and raised a small-town kid, he’s as comfortable in Tokyo or Tuna, Texas.
The variety of places he’s lived serve as settings for the characters who invade his head.
He has five novels out with Evolved Publishing: Bones of Dead Man's Bluff (2024), Slade (2022), Turning Trixie (2022), Hannah’s Voice (2012), and Carry Me Away (2013). Evolved has also released June Bug Gothic: Tales from the South, a collection of eighteen of Robb's short stories, including the award-winning horror piece, "Desert Rain." His novels and short stories are best categorized as contemporary southern lit, often with elements of suspense, satire, coming-of-age, and Southern Gothic.
Robb is also a sought-after fiction editor, with editing clients from around the world, including agented, traditionally published, and best-selling independent authors. His articles on the craft of writing fiction have appeared in various writer magazines and websites, and one of his seminars was presented at the Sydney (Australia) Writers Festival. He also has taught writing courses for Novel-in-Progress Book Camp, Romance Writers of America (even though he's not a romance writer), Romance Writers of Australia (even though he's not Australian), Adelaide Writers Community, Red Oak Writing, and Savvy Authors.
Robb currently resides in the beautiful Lake of the Ozarks region of Missouri, where he writes, edits, and coaches writers full-time.
