Overview

No one knows when that dark day will come. You wake up, shower, put the TV or computer on to catch up on some news while you sit down at your kitchen table for breakfast. You jump into your car, or stroll to the bus like you've done over a thousand times, get to your place of employment, punch the clock, then get a phone call that the boss would like to see you at once. Dusting off your shirt, you walk into his office. As you prepare to sit, he tells you don't bother with that as he slides your last paycheck to you on his desk. "What?" you scream. "I'm being let go?" The boss tells you the economy has taken a bad turn, or your work is not up to par, or the other manager who'd hired you had made a mistake, or Jenny over in accounting claim you're a pervert and harassed her yesterday. Whatever it was, you're now facing homelessness. It could happen to anyone, even tech giants and corporate heads. So what do you do? Well, "You Can't Sleep Here: A Clown's Guide to Surviving Homelessness" just might come in handy. Homelessness is not an easy solution; I've had first-hand experience. Still, I approach the topic with the humor of a stand-up comic. It's bad enough not having a roof over your head. This book will help ease that strain - or you can just read it for fun. Completely up to you.

About the Author

Robin was born in Trinidad & Tobago and emigrated to the U.S. when he was 12. Always an avid reader, he soaked in many a title in his youth which he followed up by studying English at Iowa State University. Primarily a nurse throughout his lifetime, he always paused to focus on two passions - music and writing. His music endeavors include playing in rock bands, recording albums and working as a recording engineer in a studio he co-owned in NY city. Finally taking a break from music, he re-focused on his other love, writing. Thus far he's written two novels, five novellas, five screenplays, and numerous short stories. With a work of non-fiction also under his belt, his genres run the gamut from mystery to horror, crime to romance, science fiction to historical fiction. Having lived a journeyman-type of life, Robin has been in the company of poor folks and millionaires, spiritual leaders and gangbangers, city dwellers and rural farmers, the ultra-religious and free thinkers. Each situation he has experienced has helped shape and infuse his work with their colors, some of it vibrant, others quite devastating. Besides working as a nurse and recording engineer, he's also driven a taxi, worked the grill and maintenance at several fast food restaurants, worked at an animal shelter, overnight stocked at a retail giant, was a camp counselor and worked with developmentally disabled adults at a long-term psychiatric center.
