Romancing Hollywood Nobody
by Lisa Samson

What’s the best part of reading the Hollywood Nobody books by Lisa Samson?

Some would say it’s the clever blog about the Hollywood lifestyle that Scotty Dawn writes. And they might be right.

Some would say the snappy patter voiced by Scotty, sixteen year old traveling soul who loves the vintage, the unique and the classic. And they might be right as well.

INTERVIEW | Robert Elmer

BobFreckles Robert, describe yourself for our visitors.

I’ve been writing books for the past 14 years. My first novel for young readers, A Way Through the Sea, came out in 1994. Before that, I’d been a newspaper editor, reporter, assistant pastor, and advertising writer. I went to school at Simpson Bible College in San Francisco, where I met my wife, Ronda. We have three young adult kids scattered around the country. We live in the Pacific Northwest, in Idaho. Ronda works at a local pediatric dentist office, and we enjoy traveling together whenever we can. We attend church in a nearby city. I also love the outdoors and sailing when I get a chance, working on my old boat, and walking the hills with my dog Freckles. She’s a cocker spaniel/sheltie, but getting a little old.
