Robert A. Hilliard

Author Rob Hilliard borrows from his youth in New Jersey and young adulthood as a student at the University of Virginia; a range of experiences in thoroughbred horse racing, and a business career that took him from Wall Street, Madison Avenue and the Motor City to business centers throughout Europe and across the Asia-Pacific Rim. The result is bringing to readers "What Are the Odds? The Calculus of Coincidence"; its sequel, "All In?... Beware the Cross Currents," and "Life's Elusive Horizon ... an unholy trilogy," the concluding chapter in this multi-generational saga sure to offer suspenseful, "wire-to-wire" reads.

Always a "Jersey boy" and forever a "Wahoo," the author and his wife, Kim Buckey, now reside in Charlottesville, VA. Hilliard's first literary effort, "The Circus Is In Town: A Baseball Odyssey" (Outskirts Press, 2016), is a vivid account of how he became the central figure in bringing professional baseball back to the Garden State in the '90s.
