Robert Bruce Cormack

Robert Cormack spent 36 years in advertising while writing stories under his desk. When the desk started lifting, he decided to write a novel at home instead. "You Can Lead a Horse to Water (But You Can't Make It Scuba Dive" is his first published novel--but not his first published work. He has been a regular contributor to Rosebud Magazine for over sixteen years, sharing the masthead with the likes of Ray Bradbury and singer/songwriter, Jewel. He has also been in an anthology called: Voices, a textbook used in schools across the United States and Canada. In 1989, a cubist sculpture was shown in the Art Gallery of Ontario, constructed of Robert's newspaper campaign for The Globe and Mail. The same year, one of his billboards featuring Chilean dictator, Pinochet, was defaced by Chilean ex-patriots. His advertising has earned him over 50 awards and a bottle of expensive champagne that was delivered to his office by mistake. "You Can Lead a Horse to Water (But You Can't Make It Scuba Dive) takes place in Chicago where Robert did his first advertising seminar, just down the street from the original Playboy Mansion.
