I write under the pseudonym of R. R. to protect my identity and keep my work and personal lives separate. I’m a voracious reader and I have eclectic reading interests. My love of reading began many years ago when I received my first regular length children’s novel as a gift. I will forever be grateful to the uncle and aunt who gifted me the book because it began a lifelong love of reading and writing.

Although I read very widely, I’ve had a particular interest in Holocaust and Cold War literature. In the fiction area, I enjoy reading and writing romance.

In real life, I’m a professor in a leadership role at a large state university.
