About Bob Meyers

I have earned a living as a writer, reporter, editor and book writer since 1975. I\'ve written two books,\"Like Normal People\" and \"DES: The Bitter Pill.\" I am also a firm believer that Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford, wrote the plays and poems attributed to Shakespeare. The skepticism and passion for truth I brought to journalism in my career I can now pursue on the authorship question. Specialties: Program organization, topics for discussion, non-profit management.
