But he and his siblings had to figure these things out on their own. Now a father himself, Rob decided that he would help people out by providing how-to tips as well as advice—and even throw in some bad dad jokes. He started a YouTube channel for anyone looking for fatherly advice, and in the course of three months, gained a following of nearly 2.5 million subscribers, with millions of views for his how-to and inspirational videos.

This is an incredible love story about Malcolm, Scottish fisherman who is enchanted by a strong-willed, daring girl whom he dares not to love until he learns a shocking secret about her. Malcolm is not scared of those who hold a higher social position in the culture of captivity, nor does he think himself above the poorest citizen. He is untouched by the small-town pettiness because he prospers under the care of his old grandfather. This historical romance is a well-written tale packed with mystery, fantasy, moralizing, and wonderfully depicted characters, set in the Victorian era. The story gives us a picture of passion and integrity that is exceptional; it takes frequent turns and carries the reader, with Malcolm, through misfortune and joy. The author used imagination as a literary medium for examining the human condition.
