Robert R. McCammon es un novelista estadounidense de Birmingham, Alabama. Sus padres son Jack, un músico y Barbara Bundy McCammon. Tras el divorcio de sus padres McCammon se fue a vivir con sus abuelos a Birmingham. Recibió un título en periodismo por la Universidad de Alabama en 1974. Actualmente Robert vive en Birmingham, está casado con Sally Sanders y tienen una hija, Skye McCammon. Robert dejó de escribir a finales de la década de 1990, pero volvió a la literatura con Speaks the Nightbird, el primer libro de la serie de Matthew Corbert. Planea continuar la serie.

Actualmente Robert McCammon se niega a permitir que sus primeras cuatro novelas sean reeditadas porque, aunque no le disgustan, no cree que tengan la misma calidad de sus obras posteriores. Ha escrito que considera que se le ha permitido aprender a mejorar su escritura y por lo tanto ha decidido oficialmente retirar sus primeras obras.[1] Wikipedia

Robert McCammon: Frases en inglés

“You never know how things are gonna turn out, though, and that's the truth. You aim for one place, sure as an arrow, but before you hit the mark, the wind gets you. I don't believe I ever met one person who became what they wanted to be when they were your age.”

Cory's dad to Cory; Book One, Ch. 1.
Boy's Life (1991)

“The truth of life is that every year we get farther away from the essence that is born within us. We get shouldered with burdens, some of them good, some of them not so good. Things happen to us. Loved ones die. People get in wrecks and get crippled. People lose their way, for one reason or another. It's not hard to do, in this world of crazy mazes. Life itself does its best to take that memory of magic away from us. You don't know it's happening until one day you feel you've lost something but you're not sure what it is. It's like smiling at a pretty girl and she calls you "sir."”

It just happens.
Introduction.
Boy's Life (1991)

“See this is my opinion: we all start out knowing magic. We are born with whirlwinds, forest fires, and comets inside us. We are born able to sing to birds and read the clouds and see our destiny in grains of sand. But then we get the magic educated right out of our souls. We get it churched out, spanked out, washed out, and combed out. We get put on the straight and narrow and told to be responsible. Told to act our age. Told to grow up, for God's sake. And you know why we were told that? Because the people doing the telling were afraid of our wildness and youth, and because the magic we knew made them ashamed and sad of what they'd allowed to wither in themselves.”

Introduction.
Boy's Life (1991)

“It seemed to me at an early age that all human communication – whether it’s TV, movies, or books – begins with somebody wanting to tell a story. That need to tell, to plug into a universal socket, is probably one of our grandest desires. And the need to hear stories, to live lives other than our own for even the briefest moment, is the key to the magic that was born in our bones.”
