Every woman wanted Austin Parker, the hottest ticket on the racing circuit. Yet Frannie Hannon's pearls and pink sweater sets couldn't compare with his boots and tight-fitting jeans???or so she thought???.

Before becoming a full-time writer, Robin was a hotel public relations executive whose career ran the gamut from writing and producing award-winning videos to organising pie-throwing classes taught by circus clowns. At other times in her life she has been a model, a reporter and even a charm school teacher. But her lifelong dream was to become an author, a dream no doubt inspired by having parents who were both librarians and who passed on their love of books. Robin lives just outside of New Orleans with her husband and two young daughters, Taylor and Arden. Although New Orleans is known as America's Most Romantic City, Robin says her personal romantic inspiration is her husband, Ken. Robin is an active member of the Southern Louisiana chapter of the Romance Writers of America. Her first book won RWA's national 1995 Golden Heart Award. When she's not writing, Robin enjoys gardening, antiquing, discovering new restaurants and spending time with her family. Robin loves to hear from her readers and can be reached at P.O. Box 303, Mandeville, LA 70470-0303.
