Hi Jeff. I read your book and enjoyed it. I was wondering if any of the money you made went to the Peace family, namely Jackie? Thanks.
Jeff Hobbs
Hello -- thanks for reaching out and I'm sorry for the years-long delay in responding to this--I really don't spend time on social websites but am trying to be better as my next book, Show Them You're Good, comes out in August, about young men finishing high school in different neighborhoods and aspiring for college. Per Jackie Peace's wishes, there is a scholarship at St. Benedict's for book proceeds, and Jackie herself receives earnings from the film development of the book. It took convincing from a lot of loving people around her to agree to accept anything, but it's meaningful. Thanks again, sincerely, Jeff

Jeff, I just finished listening to The Short and Tragic Life of Rob Peace on CD (read by you). Such a riveting and sad story, one really with no clear answers. I wanted to compliment you on the detail of the book. What was your method for collecting all the facts? That is really an impressive endeavor and clearly a labor of love. Best regards, Robin Lackner

Jeff Hobbs:
Thank you for writing "The Short and Tragic life of Robert Peace." I finished it yesterday and today I am going back over it. I cannot shake it and Rob from my mind. I teach students who remind me of him and the message you share is extremely powerful. I had been delaying finishing the book for some time since I knew the ending. Thank you for spending so much time on this book and sharing his story?
