Pioneer Library System

Christian fiction author Terrye Robins will offer a lively presentation and book signing event with the Brown Bag Lunch Bunch on Thursday, January 28 at 12:30 p.m. at the Newcastle Public Library. All adults are invited to attend to meet Robins and hear about her writing career and her humorous mystery novels. Attendees should bring a lunch and the library will provide drinks and dessert. Books will be available for purchase and autographs.

 

Robins is an Oklahoman writer whose books Trouble in Paradise, Revenge in Paradise and Justice Paradise combine suspense with humor and romance, and have received rave reviews from readers all over Oklahoma and beyond. These books begin in the charming town of Paradise, Oklahoma, and extend to the sunny beaches of Hawaii. The main character is Allison Kane, who is a teacher by day and detective by night. Her quirky Great-aunt Edith adds spice to the stories with her funny antics and keeps readers laughing.

 

Robins was born and raised in Oklahoma. After graduation, she moved to Aiea, Hawaii and worked in Honolulu. She served as a pianist and Sunday school teacher at a church in Kaneohe. After returning to the mainland, she married and had two sons.

 

Robins obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in elementary education from Northeastern State University and taught school for several years. After leaving the classroom, she continued to share her love of books with others by opening a children’s bookstore.

 

She is active in her church and enjoys reading, walking, playing the piano and organ and spending time with family and friends. She resides in northeastern Oklahoma and is currently working on the fourth book in her series, titled Secrets in Paradise.

 

At the luncheon event, Robins’ presentation about her works and her writing experiences will be followed by a question-and-answer session.

 

“We are very lucky to get a visit from Terrye because her books have become so popular that she is in great demand and chose to make us one of her stops on her winter tour,” librarian Janet Oldham said.
