about this author
Bob McDonald is the author of Flagrant Foul and Dilemma, which are part of the ongoing Stories from the Forester series.
No stranger to writing, Bob's inspiration for Davis Brown, the main character in Flagrant Foul came from his past. He served as a writer and editor for the Cauldron, Cleveland State's student newspaper. He published articles for the Morning Journal in Lorain, Ohio, where he was born and where he graduated from Admiral King High School in 1992.
Bob began writing Flagrant Foul after his involvement with FireRollie.com, a Web site he set up and ran from 2001 to 2003 in protest of then-CSU head coach Rollie Massimino. The site garnered media attention from, among other outlets, WKNR, Cleveland Scene, The Plain Dealer, the Philadelphia Enquirer and CBS Sportsline. His work drew praise from some and ire from other. Undoubtedly, his experience with FireRollie.com can be reflected in the personality of Reggie McCaffrey, one of the major characters in both Flagrant Foul and Dilemma.
