Robert G. Rand was born in 1965 and raised in North Orange County, California. He was a terrible student, disruptive and began using drugs and alcohol at an early age. His writing came about as a means to finish books that were missing pages in several of the prisons that he was incarcerated at. He would write endings that most fellow convicts liked better than the originals. That led to his first novel being written while in Los Angeles County Jail. He now enjoys freedom, and sobriety, in Murrieta, California.
