Author of two novels SPIN: A Novel; WAXED from St. Martin's Press. First non-fiction CONVERSATIONS AND COSMOPOLITANS from St. Martin's 11/11 From my official bio: Robert Rave is a former publicist who worked on numerous public relations campaigns and high profile special events in the lifestyle, fashion, nightlife and entertainment industries. Before heading up his own boutique firm, Robert began his career as a publicist at some of New York's most best known and prominent agencies. Robert currently lives in Los Angeles, CA and has retired from the sort of “spin” he writes about in SPIN. From my real life bio: Robert Rave stares at the computer for hours before writing. He can be found on any given weekend watching marathon reality TV programming on Bravo. Robert has a major thing for chocolate chip cookies (although now they're vegan). He falls asleep every night to the sound of 2 snoring French Bulldogs. Robert Rave also has started talking about himself in the third person. Uh oh.
