Empty Nest Syndrome lasted about a week before I woke up one morning and remembered I had dreams before I had children. One of those dreams was to write. During the years of raising the kids and working to pay the bills, I had the opportunity to write. Business letter, websites, convention brochures, and the occasional newsletter. Through it all I heard ‘You can really write. You should write a book.” I would graciously say “Thank You”, never sharing that I secretly wanted to do just that. Why? Because I didn’t have the confidence I could do it, or would be any good at it.
But it sounded easy enough, even if I knew my chances were one in a million I could ever get a foot in the door. Cruising the Internet one night, I found a little site called “BookRix”. They encouraged readers as well as beginning authors. I devoured the books on the site and the more I read, the more convinced I was that I too could do this.
Common Sense told me it would be a long road ahead, and the little voice was right. But what a ride……….

Robynn Gabel had two dreams growing up, writing books and riding horses. In her first two books, she fulfilled them both by publishing her award-winning story about her time with Elvis, a champion Missouri Fox Trotter. However, her continual pursuit of adventure pushed her off into the deeper waters of writing a historical romance novel taking place in the backdrop of the Viking Age. An adventurer at heart herself she has always been an avid traveler and has held career positions in a variety of fields but Robynn’s calling to write has never wavered earning her prestigious literary awards. In her latest book, Norse Hearts, she draws from a rich treasure trove of experiences and painstaking research to provide not only a historically authentic tale but one with true emotional power only she can bring.
When she is not writing she lives life with her husband Mark in the wind-swept land of Wyoming riding Missouri Fox Trotters, and loving a large herd of children and grandchildren.
