Robert Skead has three great loves: his family, writing and baseball. An avid New York Yankees fan, his affection for the game began in third grade when his dad bought him his first glove. His favorite subject while growing up was always creative writing. It was a talent his mother noticed and encouraged him to pursue as a young man. Robert lives with his wife and family in New Jersey. He is also the author of: Hitting Glory, A baseball bat adventure; Elves Can't Dunk, Elves Can't Tackle and Elves Can't Kick.
