Rob Rideout is a singer/songwriter, and now author, who lives on a farm with his three cats, Maya, Baba and Olive overlooking Colville, WA. He is currently self-publishing his second book of poetry, based on his song lyrics, and recording a CD of nearly thirty years worth of original songs to accompany both books. Hiking in the woods with his cats is one of Rob's greatest joys, as he believes cats carry the light of human intelligence. Learning how to market a self-published memoir is presently one of his greatest challenges. He is still sober and still singing, somehow.
