About the Author…..
Roberta Conner grew up on a farm in Western Minnesota. She married a US career Air Force Officer and as a result traveled extensively. She had a 30-year career with the Federal Government – eventually retiring to the Coachella Valley in Southern California. She has one son and two college-age granddaughters – and is happily married to Jim.
During 2021 many of her friends and family were emotionally down and out due to Covid. Friends and family alike encouraged her to begin telling her stories as she always made people laugh. That was the birth of the Roberta Raves website which ultimately led to her publishing the book by the same name. That book, Roberta Raves: Stories of Everyday Life Told with Humor, Insight and Compassion is available on Amazon in Kindle eBook, Paperback – and soon to be available – Audiobook versions.
