            Bobbi Ann Johnson Holmes first ventured into journalism as the co-editor of her high school newspaper at Lake Havasu High School. In 1976, she earned her Bachelor of Arts Degree at California State University of Fullerton, with a degree in Communications, and an emphasis in photography.
        During her senior year internship she wrote and produced the public television documentary, Born to Die, which aired in 1976. Her publishing company, Robeth Publishing, was created in 1982, with the Great Grandma's Recipe Book. From 1985 to 1991, she published the monthly community newspaper, Mountain/Hi-Desert Guide, and the full color magazine, Wrightwood Magazine. Robeth Publishing, LLC was created in 2006, and acquired the publications of Robeth Publishing.
       In 1991, when her father became terminally ill, she sold Mountain/Hi-Desert Guide and returned to Lake Havasu with her family, to help her parents operate Havasu Palms, Inc., the oldest resort on Lake Havasu.
         In 1995, she published Where the Road Ends, about the history of Havasu Palms, Inc. In 1999, she launched Havasu Magazine, Lake Havasu's online magazine.
         Today she and her husband are part owners of Lake Havasu City's Heirloom Realty, where her husband, Don is the Designated Broker. For six years, they worked as a sales team, specializing in commercial and residential real estate. They both earned their Certified Commercial Sales Specialist (CCSS), and are Graduates of the REALTOR® Institute (GRI). Bobbi earned her E-Pro real estate certification..
           Bobbi is no longer a sales agent, instead devoting more time to her writing, and managing her small publishing company, Robeth Publishing, LLC.
            Bobbi and Don Holmes have strong ties in Lake Havasu City. Bobbi’s mother, Caroline Johnson (who was one of the owners of Havasu Palms), lives in Lake Havasu City, as does Don’s mom, Doris Castro.  Don and Bobbi’s children, Robert “Scott” and Elizabeth Holmes, graduated from Lake Havasu High School.
