Melissa asked Jeff Hobbs:

Such a well written book! I look forward to reading The Tourists next. Do you have a direct link for those wishing to make donations to the Robert Peace fund at St Benedict's?

Jeff Hobbs Hello and thank you so much for reaching out -- it means a lot. So sorry for the years-long delay in responding. I really don't spend time on social websites but am trying to be better about that, as my next book called Show Them You're Good comes out in August, about young men in different neighborhoods finishing high school and aspiring for college. I know it's been a very long time since you asked about this, but the scholarship window can be found here: http://www.lifeofrobertpeace.com/scho...

Wishing you all the best, sincerely, Jeff

Jeff, this was was a wonderful read, I could not put it down. I really felt I knew this young man from your descriptions. One question I had was whether he was recruited or even noticed by the Medical Community for a fellowship or any type of position?

Dasia asked Jeff Hobbs:

Hello Jeff my name is D and I have a couple of things to say to you. Let's start with I mean this in a very respectful way possible, but why did you make this book? What did you want to gain from making this book? (respectfully). Because I feel and this is an opinion but I feel like a black person should be telling this story of Robert. like you gave us insight but you didn't inform us on who Robert really is.

Joseph asked Jeff Hobbs:

Hi, I just wanted to say that The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace is one of the best books I have ever read. I was also wondering, how your opinion changed much of Rob since writing this? How does it compare knowing his whole life story vs previous perceptions of him as an old friend and former roommate who seemed to keep much of his internal struggles and history to himself?
