Hi there!
My name is Robin Gregory.
I am an author and screenwriter whose day job is being a mom, wife, sister, and daughter. Also, I like to talk to animals, and sometimes they talk back, but mostly they just eat and poop.
I write young adult and adult fantasy stories about unlikely heroes who overcome daunting obstacles. You will find magical realism, mysticism, drama, humor, and the pangs of love in my books, but you will not find blood-spurting limbs or dragons hurling f-bombs. As a rule.
Currently, I live on the West Coast of the US with my husband, Jon Hagemeyer, retired mapmaker and jazz lunatic, and our strapping wonderboy, Julien.
Some of my closest friends are books and films,
but when I can’t read or write or watch, you’ll
find me digging in the garden amid bees and hummingbirds,
or browsing in bookstores,
or walking in the fog,
or drinking black tea—cream, no sugar,
or cooking for family and friends,
or watching the sunset from our backyard,
or just being quiet.
My favorite quote: “At the back of our brains, so to speak, there was a forgotten blaze or burst of astonishment at our own existence. The object of the artistic and spiritual life was to dig for this submerged sunrise of wonder.” –G.K. Chesterton
Thank you for visiting my website! I hope you are happy and fulfilling your dreams!
