![]() Robin is convinced she has the best job in the world, and she’s extremely grateful for her fans who support her and enable her to do what she loves. Her passion is writing funny tales about falling in love, being imperfect and reveling in friendship. She has been fortunate enough to turn her shortcomings into the hilarious characters you’ll find in her novels and short stories.

When she’s not writing, she’s exploring her state with the top off her Jeep in search of the small towns on the water that inspire her. Since her heritage is Scottish and Irish and she’s allergic to seafood, she’s considered an honorary Cajun. It didn't take long for her favorite hobby to become a full-time author. An avid reader of Lesbian fiction, Robin decided to take the leap and try her hand at writing. ![]() ![]() ![]() Born in 1965, Robin Alexander grew up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana where she still resides. ![]()
