By day, Robin is a mild-mannered writer of fantasy and paranormal fiction for young adults. By night, she is a pediatric nurse. Robin lives on the Gulf Coast with her husband, one soon-to-be teenager, and two slobbery Mastiffs. She likes playing video games and watching Jane Austen movies. (Alas, if only there was a Jane Austen video game.) THE GATHERING STORM, the first book in The Katerina Trilogy, will be published by Delacorte in January 2012.
