Christy writes with a Southern Gothic soul—tales steeped in haunted houses, cursed bloodlines, and the kind of grief that lingers. When she’s not conjuring stories from the darker corners of the South, she’s wrangling four cats, two dogs, and the occasional demon (one currently housed in the body of a particularly spiteful Chihuahua).

She’s also the founder of Grim Poppy Designs, where she crafts book covers that look like they crawled out of the crypt with style. Christy believes in ghosts, bad omens, and the power of a good story to leave a reader just a little bit haunted.

When she’s not writing, Robin enjoys spending time with her grandkids and her three lively dachshunds. A creative spirit, Robin expresses herself through painting vivid emotions on canvas, transforming feelings into visual stories, and by refurbishing and painting furniture, breathing new life into forgotten pieces to create unique works of art.
