Follow Burt as he attempts to find a way to accept his dreams, find new love, and reconcile his bloody past.

Bobby Brown earned a degree in history at the University of Arizona. He knew that one day he would be a writer. He was also a student-athlete on the baseball team, winning the 2012 College Baseball World Series. Writing was put on hold as he played Minor League Baseball for the Kansas City Royals. Since then, Bobby has been a successful baseball and softball coach. He still had a passion for studying history but found little time to write. When the COVID-19 pandemic began in 2020, Bobby, like many others, was left with a lot of free time. Bobby decided to devote his time to writing, publishing two books, first his baseball autobiography, Overcoming the Bench – A Baseball Guide to Players, Coaches & Parents, then a historical fiction novel, Of Space and Time – The Last Pandemic. Bobby lives in San Diego with his wife, two daughters, and one dog.
