A native of Houston, TX, Lane Fobbs is a graduate of Texas A&M University with over a decade of professional media experience. Fobbs’ background is in news, working at KRHD-TV in Bryan, TX, WABG-TV in Greenville, MS and WCTI-TV in New Bern, NC. He left news in 2015 to pursue independent creative opportunities. In 2017 Fobbs had the idea for the concept that would become the horror series Becky. Becky is the first book series from Fobbs. From there, Fobbs has created a library of subjects and titles covering a wide spectrum of interest. From the historical tales of the Black Facts series to the action and adventure of Richard Green, Fobbs has books for all ages and interests. He believes that Black audiences have been underserved as far as their wide range of interests and aims to close what he calls the “creative gap.”
