Robin’s Favorites

We hope you are enjoying these weekly feature posts from the authors of Inspired by Life…and Fiction. We’re sharing some of our favorite things to help you get to know us a little better—and we’d love to hear your answers to these “favorites” questions in the comments below.
Favorite Beverage (whether hot or cold): I drink decaf coffee with Italian Sweet Cream creamer every morning, but my favorite beverage is hot chocolate. Too high in sugar/calories to drink every day. But I would if I could. Bonus answer: in the summer, lemonade is my favorite.
Favorite Color (and why): Pinks in all its various shades. My former home was heavy on mauve and teal (which is my second favorite color). I love to wear pink but I don’t decorate with it.

Favorite Thing You Collect: I try not to collect any more. As I age, I just think of my daughters having to get rid of things they don’t want. The collection I’ve kept hold of are the Cherished Teddies. The collection started when I wrote the Coming To America series featuring heroines from England, Sweden, and Ireland. Those nationalities just happen to be what make up my DNA. I purchased the teddies that represent those three countries, and the collection grew from there, including teddies for various holidays and one with the characters from the Wizard of Oz.
