An Interview with Robyn Carr


Robyn Carr is my writing idol, I love her writing and what she stands for as a person. It is very clear that Robyn puts family, love, and friends above all else. She is very real but still super positive, always seeing the bright side of life. Her writing reflects her positive outlook and is truly a treat to read. She has a tremendous series called Virgin River that includes dozens of wonderful romantic-women's issue novels that are funny, sad, exciting, and romantic. Robyn talks about her books, touches on her writing career, and the connections she has made with her audience. Enjoy!

Robyn Carr

I just "liked" Robyn Carr on facebook. Her site is current with a good mix of personal and professional information. She recently added a photo of some birthday flowers with a thank you comment to all of her well-wishers. Robyn also mentioned to those seeking her more historical novels a little how-to comment noting these harder to find relics have just been released as ebooks.  In her "about" section I read a brief bio. and discovered the "Carr Chat," an author interview program Robyn pioneered with her local library where she is on the board of trustees. Because of her facebook page, I have more information as to why she writes like she does, and where her inspiration comes from. Many of her books are based on military families which is a direct product of her own life, she is a military wife and mother. Her photos were a nice mix of personal and professional although she could have more. She has over six thousand likes and her facebook is linked with her website and email accounts. Her facebook backdrop shows several of her book cover and is cluttered with author info.
