Robert Gover Robert Gover (November 2, 1929 – January 12, 2015) was an American journalist who became a best-selling novelist at age 30.

Gover worked with writers for three decades, and one of his best known students was American writer Christopher Klim. "On the Run with Dick and Jane" was his ninth novel. His previous book, "Time and Money", explores economic and planetary cyclical correlations. In 2015, the Eric Hoffer Prose Award was renamed the Gover Story Prize in his honor.
