I am writer of fiction, for readers of all shoe sizes, a family woman, a culinary explorer, an embracer of reason and many f-words (freethought, feminism, fa-la-la-la-la) and a smiter of supernaturalism, and an unrepentant cynical optimist. Unofficial motto: I can bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan…I never do, but I can. When not working on innumerable fiction projects I consider obtaining professional help to enable me to compose a more pretentious biography.

Quotes by Robyn Parnell  (?)

“Write what you know," my ass. Now, I'm not suggesting that you write about my ass. But although you do not, in fact, know my ass, I give you permission to write about it. And if you think you need my permission to write about my ass ("What right do I have, as a male, twenty-something, single, childfree, immigrant Indonesian Buddhist, to pretend to understand the ass of an Anglo American middle-aged married female Freethinker?") or about anything, then you lack the courage, curiosity and imagination to write good fiction, so please find something else to do.”
