More About the Author

› Visit Amazon's Robert J. Hutchinson Page

I've been a professional writer my entire life -- which means I've been fortunate to work at home and see my children grow up. I live with my wife and children in an old rambling house overlooking the sea that is packed full of books, pets, toys, half-eaten tomato plants, bikes, and general chaos.

As an author, I am most interested in practical ideas that impact how we live and thrive.

This book is only for the novice, so I haven't got to far into it. I really don't recommend it.
