: About Me

I grew up in Downers Grove, Illinois and I am a 1971 graduate of the University of Oklahoma where I majored in communications. I have been writing short stories for the past 20 years, and was fortunate enough to have a couple of them published (Brothers and The Man in the Mirror). Additionally, one of the proudest moments of my life occurred when The John F. Kennedy Library in Boston, Massachusetts accepted Brothers and another piece entitled The Reflecting Pond for inclusion in their Miscellaneous Manuscripts section.

I presently reside in Glenview, Illinois with my long time companion, Mary Ellen. I can be contacted by email (haiderrobert@yahoo.com).
