Robin seeks inspiration in crowded places like commuter trains, shopping centers, bars and sporting events, but also takes a notebook into places far from the beaten path, like deserts and swamps, not minding the company of snakes and spiders, and generally prefering them to weasels in suits and snobs in fashionable dresses.
Robin thinks fiction is a great route to understanding what is true and important. But, why not make it fun by creating stories of people who break the rules and seldom ask for permission? Robin hopes to entertain readers with intriguing plots along with insightful explorations of the thoughts and feelings of intelligent,interesting characters.
Robin has short stories and a novel published in the erotic romance subgenre, and is currently working on a collection of short stories and a new, non-erotic contemporary novel .
"The Ceremony" -- the title and cover seem to have changed a little from the dark cover Goodreads displays -- is an intelligent exploration of a young woman's search for answers to a range of questions, from how best to use her sexuality to the meaning of life and existence of a god. I suppose it is superficially classified as a "romance" since it really wouldn't fit into other genres -- and it does have a well-crafted and satisfyingly-resolved love story -- but I found the other issues explored in the book more compelling than the love story. The searingly passionate and explicit sex scenes are well-written and serve to move the plot along, rather than being inserted just to appeal to readers looking for erotic content. A good read that will keep you questioning your own answers to the "big questions" for a long time after you put turn the last page.
