Snarky yet good-hearted Robbie DeCaro made his first appearance in the pages of Tales from Foster High: End of the Innocence, years after the loss of his first and only love. A New York transplant, Robbie now decides that his work is done in the town of Foster, and the time has come for him to leave Texas.

Returning to his childhood home on Long Island, Robbie reunites with his family members. Each using their own unique methods, they try in vain to help Robbie reset to a life he knew before he left it all for the fairy-tale love he found, then tragically lost. He wants to put himself back out there, but the drunks, shallow guys at bars, and fair-weather friends remind him why he left Long Island in the first place.

Can Sebastian convince Robbie he's more than a pretty face and that together, they can rediscover the "after" in "happily ever after"?

About the Author

Robert Halliwell hails from the mysterious land of Ronkonkoma in the Island of Long and grew up dreaming of the day the dark, handsome Mediterranean prince of his dreams would whisk him away from the boring life he was accustomed to and to a land far, far away... from his mother. A magical place full of roller skates and rainbows called Xanadu. Unfortunately, that never happened, but he was instead whisked away to the dark kingdom of Florida and the "prince" turned out to be a very pale country bumpkin from Schenectady. Yes, it's a real place. When he's not spending the day writing, Robert can be found at home taking care of his two-legged daughter and four-legged furry children whilst viewing unhealthy amounts of QVC, much to the dismay of his husband, Kevin.

Robert is still waiting for Lynda Carter to sign the adoption papers he sent her in 1998.
