Robert is an engineer and manager in U.S. manufacturing industry, who lives in Savannah, Georgia.  He has enjoyed writing satire at an amateur level for many years, but just recently published his first book, Tales of Obamaland.  Early inspiration came from the likes of Shel Silverstein and MAD magazine, but more recent inspiration is from a wide variety of satire websites that take hard-nose depressing subject material and turn it into light, fun humor.  He enjoys taking serious or quasi-serious material, and turning it on its head...poking a little good-hearted fun, exaggerating through use of absurdity, sprinkling in a touch of irreverence, and throwing in a little sarcasm for good measure.  Robert runs a website and blog at www.bizarreville.com which features satirical takes on political and current events, framed in a fictional, whimsical world not so far away.  It's fun.
