Books and Writing

Robin is always working on books. There are two books in the works. The important one will be a collection of poems, prayers, and essays from various poets, writers, and healers. A delay has caused this to be moved to early 2022. The title is Poems, Prayers, and Essays for the Broken-Hearted. This will be published by Napping Dog Press and the proceeds will be donated to a charity upon which all authors agree.  Robin is also working on another collection of original poetry.

More Than Knowing Released 2019

This is a collection of original poetry. Influenced by Oliver and Rilke, Robin hopes to one day grow to write poetry that lasts through the ages. This book is currently out of publication.  Robin is still writing poetry and seeing to put More Than Knowing into a new format.

Robin’s debut novel, the characters search for meaning in life and a place where all belong. A story that is a mixture reminiscent of Fried Green Tomatoes and At Home in Mitford, this novel portrays a loving sense of community and home. The rural North Carolina town of Pleasant Quarry becomes a place where all belong. Robin set out to write a story that was more similar to the life lived in a rural setting.

Robin’s non-fiction tends to have a very religious or spiritual nature to it. I’m this work of fiction, some of that spiritual color comes through, but in a way that is listed as a minor bit of information. The point of this fiction is simply to tell a good story that might make you laugh, might make you think, but the purpose is merely telling a good story. It is Robin’s hope that the story you are about to read will be interesting as you catch a glimpse of life in the rural South of the Piedmont in North Carolina.
