About The Author

Robert McFarland spent 31 years walking mail routes, sorting letters, and navigating the unseen world of the United States Postal Service. To most people, he was simply “the mailman.” But behind the uniform, he witnessed the kind of stories that rarely leave the breakroom: scandals, cover-ups, and small acts of courage that defined his career.
His path wasn’t glamorous. Early mornings. Endless steps. The weather never cooperated. Yet those decades gave him something few outsiders ever see: a front-row seat to the hidden workings of one of America’s most trusted institutions. Robert carried more than mail; he carried secrets, frustrations, and a quiet determination to one day share the truth.
Today, he writes not to sensationalize, but to preserve. His words capture both the absurd and the serious, showing readers the flawed but very human side of a system we all rely on. Outside of storytelling, Robert is a family man who still enjoys the simple things like a good laugh, a quiet walk, and the relief of not waking up to sort mail at 5 a.m.
