About the Author

Robert Mauro had many years of playwriting experience behind his words. He started creating scenes and playlets during his childhood days in New York City. Unlike many other gifted children who write neighborhood plays for friendly entertainment, Mauro continued his writing into and through his college years, winning several regional distinctions and productions. His first adult play was the featured work at Hofstra University's Annual Literary Festival. It launched him into a career as a playwright, writer and editor.

So prolific was Mauro in the wide range of his writing in a variety of media that he was required to assume a second pen name.
