Hi. I'm Robert, but now that you're here, you can call me Bob. I'm an editor and writer who grew up in the country reading science fiction, landed jobs in the city as a newspaper reporter and photographer, witnessed the birth of the computer generation, and now work within that industry while I hang around waiting for my son to grow up.
In 2004, I won a contest with my first novel, Thrips, and got it published as a $27 hardcover. It sold a few copies, and if they had just been higher priced--like $1,000 or so each, let's say--I'd have made a bunch of money. Instead, in 2006 I regained the rights to the novel, reworked it and offered it in 2008 as a $6.99 paperback from Amazon.com or a $1.59 Kindle Version. It's now called THRIPZ and you can read about it at THRIPZ.com.

Buy An Autographed Copy
It's cheaper to buy one from Amazon, but if you really want an autographed copy from me, you can use your Credit Card to buy it for the $6.99 retail price plus $4.50 shipping and handling (plus 6.5% sales tax in Ohio). Sorry, because of the postage to other countries, this offer's for U.S. residents only. I'm pretty sure it can be ordered through Amazon in most countries. If you're a book seller or library and want multiple copies, write to me at robert (at symbol) robertfarley.com for information.
You'll be able to enter the name you want the book inscribed to after you enter your purchase and shipping information. The deal's not done till you click the last button after that, so don't worry that you'll be locked in to something you don't want to be. Still want one signed by me? Great.
