Biography

Writing career

Before Robert Whitlow wrote his first novel, best-selling "The List", he had no ambition whatsoever to write. He woke one morning thinking about how people don't realise how much the past influences the present. While driving to work that morning, an idea for a novel regarding this subject came to mind. That night, he mentioned it to his wife, Kathy, who said "You should write it!" So he did.

After "The List" was published, he wrote "The Trial", which won a Christy Award in 2001. He has continued to write ever since then.

He also has a son named Jacob who is a really cool guy.
