John Wisniewski interviews Robert Yarra for CHIRON reviews spring edition:
JOHN: When did you begin writing, and what inspires you?
ROBERT: Books have always been my passion, and most of my heroes were writers. I started writing in Miss Fontana’s 4th grade class – then stopped for half my life when I became an immigration attorney – before taking it up again after selling my law practice.
I write stories from my life, mostly about the extraordinary people I’ve known, as well as the wacky and wonderful adventures and misadventures I’ve had, which are the inspiration for my writing.
