Dear Reader, Love Richard Robbins

Dear Reader…

Is it better to take the risk and pursue the glory of fame and fortune, or to live a simpler, more grounded life? That is the question posed in my new novel, Panicles. While the story does not answer that question – it is up to each of us to decide for ourselves – it does present very relatable circumstances in which characters must make that choice, as well the consequences of their choices.

Most of us have been in circumstances where we must choose whether or not to take those risks. To stand on top of the hills and expose ourselves to the consequences, or to stand aside and let another take the risk. To run for office, chair that committee, speak up at the meeting, or stand in front of that tank in Tiananmen Square. Have those times resulted in fame, fortune, and happiness, or pain and misery. Both, neither?

In Panicles, you will follow the fates of two families, one wealthy and powerful, the other blue collar, from a chance meeting at a Florida poolside, to the highest levels of politics and power. This saga of love, war, money, and power leaves each family weighing their duty to their family versus service to their country.

It all leads to a fateful choice--a sacrifice--which could change the course of history.

This book was written with love, and I hope you will receive it that way. If it gives you a few short moments of happiness and escape, and makes you think about the choices you have made or how to approach those coming your way, then I will have accomplished my goals. 

Thank you to all of you who have been so kind with your reviews and encouragement, and please give me any feedback at www.Robbinsbooks.com.

With love and kindness,

Richard Robbins
