Robyn
lives in Adelaide, South Australia, with her
writer husband Rob Parnell, her dog Spock and
thousands of children's books. She works full
time writing for children.
Robyn wrote her first children's book while at
high school. It was a mystery similar to the
Nancy Drew series. When Robyn was a child,
she wished she could be Nancy Drew because the
teenage sleuth was always involved in an exciting
adventure.
Robyn has always loved writing and reading. She
writes children's books for pleasure. Her other
interests include watching Aussie Rules Football.
Her favourite team is the Adelaide Crows. Go
Crows! She also enjoys listening to music,
playing pool, watching movies, seeing friends,
swimming and exercising.

wore them because, as soon as I got home, I
buried them out the front of my house. (The
glasses are probably still there.)
