Robert is a New York Times and #1 Amazon Bestselling author. I met him last year at ThrillerFest. My good friend Todd Gerber said to me “you really have to see this guy. he’s amazing.” Todd has never steered me wrong. So I went to his class. I was so jazzed after his class that I skipped the next track, ran up to my room and wrote for an hour. Incorporating all the exciting points Bob had just relayed to us.

So what happened next? I scoured the CraftFest schedule and found him teaching another class at 7 p.m. Friday night. Here I am in NYC. Friday night. I’ve been in the Grand Hyatt all week. I really wanted to get out a little. But after attending Bob’s first class, there was no doubt what I was going to do. I went to his class.

I’m a better writer because of him. But there’s great news. Although Bob was not able to attend the first portion of ThrillerFest this year due to other obligations, and you can’t download one of his classes from VM Tapes, you can visit him on his site and follow the class he put together specifically to help make YOU a better writer.

What is that stupid saying, “those that teach, don’t do”? Something like that?
Well, it’s clearly wrong in this case.
Robert Dugoni can write. His latest book is an absolute hit. It’s one thing selling a lot of books, but when you really enjoyed it, you leave a review. He has almost 8 thousand reviews on this one book! Amazing.

One last thing. Bob is a great guy. So personable. Even when I ran into him on the street in NYC, he comes up, knows your name and shakes your hand. We joked about what we had to bring our kids back from New York. He’s awesome. If you don’t buy his books or attend his writing class, root for him. He deserves it.
