About the Author

At first, Robyn Carr wanted to be a nurse, but following her Air Force officer husband from base to base didn't give Carr the stability to pursue nursing. So she read constantly, mostly books in the historical romance genre, giving her inspiration to write her own. Her first novel, Chelynne, was published in 1978. Carr tried her hand at romance, thrillers and non-fiction until she began to create her own niche in women's fiction, focusing on strong women and their realities.

Carr has written over 30 books, but it took until 2011, with her popular Virgin River series, to debut at the top spot of the New York Times Bestseller list as well as Barnes and Noble and Publisher's Weekly lists. She has recently released a new Virgin River trilogy. Carr and her husband enjoy traveling and supporting causes that honor military families.
