About Rob Jackson

Rob Jackson is a retired attorney and law school ethics professor who lives and writes in Petaluma, California. He spent decades in courtrooms and classrooms which, he will tell you, left him with an abiding appreciation for the absurd and an irresistible urge to write it all down.

He is the author of two novels. Derk Saintly is an unconventional and irreverent indictment of the courts, the news media, and organized religion, following two last-in-their-class, down-on-their-luck misfits who can’t help but throw a monkey wrench into the plans of the powerful. Fools’ Errand tells the story of four irascible college professors who abduct a friend from an Alzheimer’s facility and set out in a vintage Winnebago on a comedic adventure across America.

Rob also writes a travel blog at rljwander.com, where he has chronicled adventures in France, Ireland, Italy, and Alaska.

He was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2021 which, not to put too fine a writer’s point on it, he considers a real pain in the ass.
