Bob Smiley

Bob Smiley began his writing career as a research assistant to the late, great William F. Buckley, Jr. In 2008, he wrote the sports memoir Follow the Roar, chronicling his journey around the globe as he followed Tiger Woods for every hole of an entire season. His latest project is the satiric novel Don't Mess with Travis, now out from Thomas Dunne Books/St. Martin's Press. Don't Mess with Travis has been heralded by Kirkus, Booklist, The Dallas Morning News, Steve Forbes and Breitbart.com, who called it "one of the year's best and arguably the most stinging work of political satire since Christopher Buckley's Boomsday."Smiley continues to write for television and film, having written for network sitcoms as well as for Fox News Channel’s Half Hour News Hour. He is currently writing a pilot for Disney XD and developing a half-hour comedy for AMC, along with having a movie deep in development with producer/director McG.
