About the Author

Robert E. “Bob” Cull was born and raised in Frederick, Oklahoma, a small southwestern Oklahoma community. The second child born into a daily newspaper family, his exposure to words, language and written expression was an integral part of his environment during those early years. As a young adult, he was called on to manage the same newspaper that his father had managed before him, providing additional opportunities to hone his writing skills. Subsequent choices led him away from that small community and into the larger world of work in Denver, Colorado. He ultimately enrolled at the University of Colorado, earning both a BS and MBA from that institution. His professional path has involved a fair amount of marketing and business-to-business sales in the early years, evolving into executive roles in marketing and operations in the healthcare field. Still fully engaged running a small company, his hope is to return to his roots. His goal is to create a volume of written work covering a wide range of topics that can be helpful, informative, inspirational or provocative.

This is a great book. It is humorous, but much more important, it is informative, uplifting, and inspirational. Bob Cull imparts wisdom to all by reminding us to make the most of each day and to let the people we love know that we love them now, while we can.

This review is from: It's Half Past Midnight: A Poignant, Practical and Humorous Trip Through My Colon (Paperback)

This book has relevancy to almost anyone, as it addresses concerns faced by those with a cancer diagnosis and anyone who may know them. It provides amazing insight into the thought process of someone moving through this difficult health challenge, while striving to maintain an attitude that the glass is always 'half full'. While it provides much-needed practical advice, it successfully emphasizes the importance of maintaining a 'practical and humorous' outlook on an often difficult health challenge. If you or someone you know is faced with cancer of any kind, this book would be a great gift of comfort. I have ordered several extra copies to share with dear friends who find themselves faced with cancer each and every day.
