Robin's first grade teacher wrote on her report card, Robin keeps the entire class entertained at rug time with her stories.
Even with such an early affirmation, Robin didn't think much about becoming a writer during high school or college. She was more intrigued by the idea of traveling to foreign lands and telling people about God's love.
But Robin's husband also noticed her gift for storytelling and urged her to attend a writers' conference. That first conference, in 1979, opened the door for publication of devotions, articles, interviews and 14 children's books.
When her two children were young, Robin would rise at 3 a.m. and brew a pot of tea. Then she would go to work, creating stories for teens that later became the Christy Miller, Sierra Jensen, and College Years books.
Robin's first novel was published in 1988, and she has continued to write between two to five books a year. Her 63 published books include 47 novels, all of which are still in print. Sales of her popular Christy Miller Series, Glenbrooke Series and Sisterchicks Series are approaching four million copies sold, with translations in nine languages.
Robin's passion for storytelling and travel are evident in all her books, especially the Sisterchicks novels, and she has received thousands of letters from readers around the world who have come to know Christ through her writing. She sees this as her dream come true. Her novels are traveling to foreign lands and her characters are doing what she always longed to do; telling people about God's love.

I like Robin Jones Gunn. Her stories are so realistic. but sometimes they're too good to be true, and the way she incorperates all her books one way or another is awesome.

I love how in the Sierra Jensen books she writes so well, that you feel as though you are living Sierra's life while you are reading. I love being able to escape my life and be taken into someone else's life through words, and 'walk' in their shoes for awhile.
