Robin
and Max were on their way to falling in love when Max brought Robin
to Joshua Tree National Park to show her this desert place he
loved. A few years later, they found themselves looking at property
in Pipes Canyon, bought 22 acres and have lived there ever since.
They've co-created a private retreat center there,
drawing soul-weary travelers from cities around the
world.
When
the Sawtooth Fire of 2006 swept
through Pipes Canyon and Pioneertown, Robin & Max escaped their
little piece of desert paradise through a wall of fire thinking
their home was destroyed and they would have to rebuild. Robin
credits a trough of water strategically dumped on their house from
a fire-fighting helicopter for saving their home where they've
lived for 20 years.
After
moving to Pipes Canyon, the mountains, mesas, flora and fauna
inspired Robin so much, she wrote two television series and 10 more
novels. Most of her books are historical fiction with females at
the center of the stories, like 'The
Secret Diary of Anne Boleyn'.
In this
episode, Robin reads a small excerpt from her newest book,
'Atlantos - The Early Earthe
Chronicles - Book 1' is the first in a trilogy of science fiction,
a departure for Robin's writing, though she has had an interest in
the 'beyond' since having a 'close encounter', at the age of two,
in New Jersey.
