RAVEN
WEST
is the pen
name of Robin Cohen Westmiller, writer, author and columnist who decided
to become a journalist when she discovered that showing
a "Press Pass" gave her access to areas and people that others never
get to see. During her freshman year at the University of Missouri-Columbia, she
fell in love with the college's radio station and changed majors, schools, and
careers. At Syracuse University, she worked at several radio stations including
WELV in her hometown of *
Ellenville, New York.
Combining her writing skills and radio
industry background she created the novel
Red Wine For Breakfast set in the volatile world of a Los
Angeles radio station.
Her second novel First Class Male is the
story of a small town postmaster who secretly edits the manuscript of a NY City
District Attorney and becomes the target of blackmail, jealousy and
revenge.
Under the pen name of FireBird, she published a collection of erotica short
stories, Journey to Dimension Nine.
All three books are published by Lighthouse Press, Inc.
Many of her articles have appeared in "The Writers Connection",
"Westlake Magazine", "Conejo Valley Magazine" and
"PEN". She has been a frequent guest on KCLU's
"Beyond Words" NPR syndicated radio program hosted by Frances
Halpern.
She has led
workshops for "Creative Options " at Cal Lutheran University and
conducts seminars on marketing on the Internet for the Santa Barbara Writers
Conference and is a member The Authors
Guild.
A “mid-life crises” in 2003 led her to
enter the Southern California Institute of Law, a decision, which later turned
out to be fortuitous in her fight to rescue her father from the clutches of a
Florida court appointed guardian. Once again, combining her real life experience
with the power of the written word, she penned her memoir “Blood Tastes
Lousy With Scotch”, published by Star Publish.
