I'm really glad to have Robin with us today. She's the president of American Christian Fiction Writers, and the national conference will be next week. She's a very busy lady.
By the way, if you live anywhere near Minneapolis, be sure to come to the public booksigning at the Mall of America on Saturday, September 20, from 1 - 3 pm. 126 authors will be in the Best Buy rotunda, the courtyard by Bloomingdales, and in the corridor between. You'll get to meet a lot of special people.
I grew up being a reader and loving to get lost in a story. Writing has always been a vital part of who I am.
If you weren’t an author, what would be your dream job?
To be on the Publisher’s Clearing House Prize Patrol! :D
Then you could bring my millions to my house! ;-) If you could have lived at another time in history, what would it be and why?
Definitely back in the antebellum times. But I would’ve hated the corsets and hoop skirts.
I always told my husband I was born out of my time. I always loved wearing long dresses, even before the maxis came in. What place in the United States have you not visited that you would like to?
Hmmm…that’s a hard one. I think I’d like to visit New York, just to say I did. :D
I haven't been to New York, but I've been to Washington, DC. I think every American should go and see all the monuments and memorials to our counntry's history. How about a foreign country you hope to visit?
Italy
What lesson has the Lord taught you recently?
What HASN’T He taught me recently? LOL Seriously, He deals with me daily on life lessons. But most recently? Forgiveness, even when it isn’t asked for.
That's a hard one.
TORRENTS OF DESTRUCTION is a book that I got the idea of when my husband returned from a white water rafting trip on the Gauley River in West Virginia. As I watched the video, I kept thinking “what if” such and such happened. This book was the answer to my “what if” game. Raging rapids aren't the only thing causing turbulence in the lives of a river rafting guide and an undercover FBI agent ... catching criminals is as dangerous as the undercurrent of attraction they have for each other.
I can hardly wait to read it. How can readers find you on the Internet?
www.robincaroll.com but to order to order the book, visit www.underdogpress.com
All right, Readers, leave a comment for a chance to win a free copy, but check out both Robin's website and the Underdog Press site.
What a fun interview! I wouldn't mind being on the Publisher's House Prize Patrol either. Her book of suspense centered around the river rafting with the guide and FBI agents sounds like a very good book. Please enter me in your drawing. Many thanks, Cindi

Publisher's House Prize Patrol does sound like a neat job. I did work as a temp a few times for Publisher's Clearing House many years ago and it was fun! This book sounds like a great book. Please senter me in the drawing.

I'm curious, Robin. On the Underdog press page it says it is for pre-published, but I've read your Steeple Hill books so I know you're published. Was Torrents of Destruction written and sold to Underdog before you got the SH contract?
ReplyDeleteWishing you all the best, Robin. Great interview here and on your site, too.
Blessings,
Eileen
wow what a great and fun interview. Sounds like a great book Robin. I can't wait to read it!
ReplyDeleteWhen will get a new Love Inspired?

Wonderful interview! Would love to be entered in the drawing since this book sounds so good!
ReplyDeleteHi, all! Thanks so much for reading my interview. Lena's always so much fun because she asks the coolest questions!
ReplyDeleteEileen--Torrents is a book of my heart, but too long for SH's guidelines. I didn't want to cut any parts out of the book, so I needed to go with a publisher who published single title length books. Thus, Underdog arrived on the scene! :D
Wendy--the last two books in the bayou series, by SH Love Inspired Suspense, are scheduled for release next year. Bayou Betrayal in January, and Blackmail in July. I also participated in a Love Inspired Suspense continuity, writing the 2nd book in the WITHOUT A TRACE series. My book, Framed!, releases in February of 2009.
Sounds like a great book. I would love the chance to read it. My email address is shryackmom[@]charter[.]net

Great interview ladies!
ReplyDeleteI was privileged enough to read this book when it was a rough draft and it was great then. I can't wait to see the finished version. I'm so excited that Underdog chose it to be their first published book!
Please enter me in the drawing as well.
See you guys next week!

ReplyDeleteWait, here's my email fecarly1@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteMy husband keeps trying to talk me into letting him take my two small kids rafting with him (in kayaks) and I tell him he's nuts! :) I also have my own list of "what-if's."
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great book!

I have played the what if game so many times so I can see how that would have influenced you. I'm not sure if I could do the long dress thing though. Was there an era where they all wore jammies? lol That would be my pick!
