Rob Kellett is the self-published author of the “Best Laid” series, which he describes as a rom-Dom-com written under his pseudonym Robyn Kelly. He hopes to earn enough money with his writing to buy a tweed jacket with leather patches on the elbows to really live the fantasy writer’s life. Since he doesn’t have any aspirations of being a full-time author, he’s as surprised as you are to be invited on the show (but who can say no to Rachael?)
