Robin Dobbins
Robin Dobbins’ journey as a writer can be traced back to his deep ancestral roots. His grandmother, Cecil Ramsey, descended from the original settlers of early Tennessee—a family steeped in history and journalism. Among these trailblazers was Dr. James Gettys McGready Ramsey, a notable historian who authored Annals of Tennessee in 1853, a seminal work still in print today. In a serendipitous moment, a fitness client gifted Robin a copy of this book one Christmas, unknowingly connecting him to his storied lineage and sparking his own passion for writing.
Robin’s academic career began at California State University, Hayward, where he graduated in 1972 with a BA in Political Science, along with minors in History and Sociology. His intellectual curiosity led him to Texas in 1974, where he pursued graduate studies at Stephen F. Austin University. It was here that he met Dr. Richard C. Kim, a brilliant mentor who became a guiding force in his life. Dr. Kim’s influence extended far beyond academia, as he famously declined both the presidency of Howard Payne University and a senior position in the South Korean government. Dr. Kim passed away in February 2024, two months after his 100th birthday.
“Dr. Kim asked me to write something socially redeeming,” Robin recalls, “but after years of intense academic study of political philosophy and the great thinkers like John Locke, I was burned out on that path. It wasn’t until later that I found my true calling in writing novels inspired by the human experience.” His life was filled with a range of pursuits—bodybuilding, drag racing, youth sports coaching, and working as a sports editor for local newspapers like the Deer Park Broadcaster and Deer Park Progress—all of which enriched his storytelling.
In 1967, Robin became the youngest male to serve as a Big Brother in Houston at just 20 years old. “I was freshly married to my most awesome wife, Janel,” he fondly recalls. “Listening to the heartbreaking stories of the kids I mentored, combined with my own tough experiences working as a collections agent, profoundly shaped my view of the world.” These early encounters with hardship and resilience deeply influenced his later writing, giving his novels a strong sense of empathy and humanity.
Robin’s life took another significant turn when he attended Baylor Sports Medicine Institute from 2000 to 2002, becoming a certified personal fitness trainer and rehabilitative exercise specialist. He worked extensively with patients recovering from surgeries such as knee and hip replacements, back surgeries, and rotator cuff repairs. “There were even times,” he reflects, “when we could rehabilitate someone enough to avoid surgery altogether.” His dedication to helping others heal, both physically and emotionally, became a hallmark of his career.
Athletics were always a key part of Robin’s life. In 1971, he special-ordered a Dodge Challenger with the iconic 426 Hemi engine, an experience he describes as “unbelievable.” Although he had to part with the car during the gas shortage, the memories of drag racing and the thrill of driving that powerful machine have stayed with him. His love of sports also extended to baseball, where in 1973, he had a brief stint as an unrestricted free agent with the Oakland A’s. Despite a career-ending injury, Robin’s passion for the game never faded, and two years later, he became Stephen F. Austin University’s first pitching coach.
OTHER BOOKS
We’ve Been Misled: Eating Healthy is Simple
Inflammation inarguably has been identified as the father of all disease. This deadly assassin slips through the metal detectors via the seemingly good whole foods we ingest, not to mention the dastardly processed ones. In the meantime, twenty-thousand-plus mainstream diet schemes focus on calorie counting, carb shuffling, juicing, fasting, fats elimination, food combining, meal timing, and so forth. All are extremely complex or confusing at best besides overloading you with information. Achieving favorable body composition is their goal, a goal driven by the public’s demands. Not the best focus.
We’ve Been Misled: Eating Healthy Is Simple presents a rather disturbingly uncomplicated plan to eliminate inflammation while helping you achieve maximum nutrition. By simply eating in a manner that maintains your body on the anti-inflammatory side of the ledger will also enable you to avoid the three deadliest food additives; monosodium glutamate, high fructose corn syrup, and trans fatty acids, all silent killers. This book will reveal the way you should eat for a lifetime of permanent health. An anti-inflammatory eating protocol will allow you to avoid the likes of Alzheimers, Parkinsons, heart disease, arthritis, and numerous others spelled out in this book.
If you have not read my author bio on this website, then it’s imperative you know I attended Baylor Sports Medicine Institute (200-2002), becoming a certified Personal Fitness Trainer and Rehabilitative Exercise Specialist. From then on, I attended hundreds of hours of workshops, including all the areas of nutrition from some of the finest, of whom you will find listed in the book’s Foreword and Acknowledgment page.
Also, this book was not written to challenge anyone in the marketplace. It was written for my clients only, to answer their thousands of questions, which were slowly causing me to need a throat transplant and refurbished tongue. No set of parents or a single parent, who has a job, children, children’s constant activities that eats up daylight, homework to finish, and baths to be taken before bedtime, has time to measure foods, put together recipes and organize 7-day meal plans, let alone execute the monthly planner.
All of the other books, however, are magnificently put together by the very best dieticians, nutritionists, and researchers. They all have no peers. They can even reveal effects of food combining and meal timing, all of which are awesome.
Misfit Youths Find A Champion
Jerry Walker was cruising through life in a fairytale marriage complimented by an illustrious baseball career. Then without warning, it all quickly dissipated, leaving him reeling in disillusionment and despair. In a desperate search to redefine his life, Walker discovers his need to make a difference in the lives of troubled youths. With the help of longtime friend and attorney, Sam Kaeo, he takes a job teaching history and coaching baseball at a much troubled inner city high school in Houston, Texas. Centennial High School, however, presents challenges for which Walker quickly realizes he has no prior background. Militant students do not trust his benevolent intentions, and principal Bill Saddler is a ruthless tyrant, who secretly has a plan in place to rid the already depressed school of all athletics, extracurricular activities, and less than average students. Embrace Jack Klam and Ed Hughes, two most unlikely faculty allies, who aid Walker’s crusade to save the school from Saddler’s oppressive measures. Klam is a veteran teacher, who had long given up fighting the system. Hughes is a black man, small in stature, who resents having been passed over many times for the head baseball coaching position. Learn to love the many students who come to trust Walker and cry for those losing their lives senselessly. Feel your heart melt as Walker befriends Tony Leonardi, a loner with a loving mother and younger sister, while making the youth’s lifelong dream become a reality. Accompany Walker as he treks to the jungles of Mexico in a desperate attempt to save the life of the woman he never stopped loving; the mother of his three children with whom he shared an uncommon bond. Robin Dobbins places the reader at the center of all the relationships, entanglements, controversies, tragedies, and triumphs. Though the plot is multi-faceted and moves quickly, Misfit Youths Find a Champion is about people. It’s a book you’ll want to go back and read again just to spend some more time with the characters he so beautifully fleshes out.
