Robyn wrote her first children's book while at high school. It was a mystery similar to the Nancy Drew series. When Robyn was a child,
she wished she could be Nancy Drew because the teenage sleuth was always involved in an exciting adventure.

She also enjoys listening to music, playing pool, walking, watching movies and meditating.
