Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Bob Grove now lives
in the mountains of North Carolina. He earned his Bachelor of Arts at
Kent State University and his Master of Science at Florida Atlantic
University. His diversified curriculum enabled him to teach courses
in English, journalism, creative writing, physics, chemistry, biology
and psychology.
Bob has been an ABC-TV public affairs
director, an on-air personality, and the founder and publisher of
Monitoring Times magazine. A prose critique facilitator for
the North Carolina Writers’ Network and an officer with the
Ridgeline Literary Alliance, he has published seventeen books and
hundreds of articles in sixteen national magazines.
Now retired after 35 years as founder
of Grove Enterprises, an international supplier of radio
communications equipment, Bob has more time to write. Most recently,
he has published a mystery novella (Secrets of Magnolia Manor),
his memoir (Misadventures of an Only Child), a collection of
children’s stories (Adventures of Kaylie and Jimmy) and has written several flash fiction stories as well as some forgettable
poetry. He has been awarded gold, silver and bronze medals in the
Silver Arts literature competition.
Bob’s public readings are popular as
a performance art form, typified by his annual December reading, in
costume and dialect, of Dickens’s A Christmas Carol at the
John C. Campbell Folk School.
His collected writings on technical
topics (Antenna Basics, Antenna Anthology and Ask
Bob) are now available, as is his informative overview of deviant
mental behavior (Abnormal Psychology) which he uses as a
teaching text in continuing education classes.
All Bob’s publications are available
on Amazon Kindle, and you are welcome to visit him at bobgrove.org.
