Oxford (Wis.) Public Library hosts ‘Hikes’ author, cousin novelist

David and Rob Bignell

A special thanks to the Oxford (Wis.) Public Library for hosting “An Interview with Two Authors” on Tuesday night. My cousin, novelist David Bignell, and myself discussed our books and self-publishing for about an hour. The interview was taped and will play over cable stations in Marquette, Adams, Columbia and Waushara counties during the next month or so; I’ll post the interview on YouTube once it’s edited.

Meet the Author

My name is Rob Bignell. I'm a long-time hiker, journalist and editor. My son Kieran and I have been hiking together for the past decade. Before Kieran, I taught middle school students in New Mexico and Wisconsin, served as an infantryman in the Army National Guard, and worked in newspapers. I've won several journalism awards, from editorial writing to sports reporting. In 2001, The Prescott Journal, which I served as managing editor of, was named Wisconsin’s Weekly Newspaper of the Year. Currently I own and operate an online editing business, Inventing Reality Editing Service. After spending several years in Southern California, my son and I now live in Wisconsin on the scenic Red Cedar River.
