Robert Miskimon

His published fiction includes A Wind Is Rising, Plastic Jesus, What Death Can Touch, Skagit, Shenandoah and La Posada, Other Stories and Poems.

[1] Fictional themes include environmental and political struggles, man's search for a spiritual home and the artist's journey toward truth and awareness.

In a 1976 review of A Wind Is Rising, the Monterey Peninsula Herald said "the novel is well-constructed [and] should appeal to the general reader, but particularly to Peninsulans because of the transparency of the author's disguise of several Carmel residents."

"[5] His nonfiction books include The Complete Guide to Building Your Own Tree House (Atlantic Publishing Company, 2009)[6] and Uncovered: the Bare Facts about Nude Recreation (Amazon Kindle, 2007).

He has won California state Sigma Delta Chi journalism awards for both news (1985) and feature writing (1983), according to a profile in Contemporary American Authors.
