Highly-rated book’s proceeds go to wounded veterans’ fly fishing programs
He’s the long-time Chairman of the Board of the renowned Cleveland Clinic, is one of the world’s most successful businessmen, and is an avid world class fisherman who for decades has hosted dozens of fishing tournaments raising millions of dollars for cystic fibrosis cure research. And Bob Rich, of Buffalo, N.Y. and Islamorada, Fla., also finds time to write books.
The author of four non-fiction books — three on fishing and sports — Rich continues to receive 5-star verified reader ratings on Amazon.com for his new novel Looking Through Water.
“I’ve always wanted to do a novel,” he said. “When I started Looking Through Water, I found the best way to begin was to set it against backdrops I’ve always loved; fishing, Adirondacks lakes, Manhattan and the Florida Keys.”
“It’s a love story and an action adventure story, filled with conflict, emotion and healing. It’s a great coming of age tale and since it’s the Keys, fishing too! It has all the elements for a good story,” Rich said. “Inventing colorful characters and plot twists was great fun and I’ve enjoyed reader’s reactions.”
Besides Amazon.com, Looking Through Water is also available on BN.com, and at BobRichBooks.com.
Ever the philanthropist, the proceeds from Rich’s novel benefits Project Healing Waters, dedicated to helping injured veterans and active duty military heal from physical and emotional wounds through fly fishing.
Bob continues to raise funds for a cure for CF at his upcoming 15th annual BassEye celebrity fishing tournament in Buffalo, and 15th Golden Isles Red*Trout event on St. Simons Island, Ga.
