About Robin

Robin Strachan is a writer whose poetry, fiction, and feature articles have been published in local, regional, and national publications.

Born in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, she grew up dreaming of life as an author. She began her career as a reporter writing feature stories for a regional newspaper and its sister magazine. Her popular personality features, coupled with her love of short stories and novels, eventually led to writing books in the contemporary romance and women's fiction genres. Her novels are about strong women who overcome difficult life experiences to live their best lives.

An avid reader of fiction and nonfiction, she devours three to four new books each week. Among her favorite authors are Elizabeth Strout, Ann Patchett, Amor Towles, Khaled Hosseini, Abraham Verghese, Claire Keegan, Anna Quindlen, and Curtis Sittenfeld.

She enjoys spending time with her two daughters and their families. In her spare time, she creates her own Weight Watchers-friendly recipes, especially soups. She spends her time between homes in coastal Connecticut and southwestern Pennsylvania.
