Fay RobinsonDoes anyone have any info on Fay Robinson? She wrote very few books, but was a two time Rita Award Winner for A Man Like Mac and Coming Home to You.  I have her books and was looking for more only to find out she passed away in 2002.  She looks like a young woman and well, I'm just curious about her.

Books:  A Man Like Mack, Coming Home to You, The Notorious Mrs. Wright, Christmas on Snowbird MountainMr. and Mrs. Wrong

She apparently died of cancer at age 50. You can find her obituary under her real name, Carmel Parsons Thomaston.

Thanks for the info; I had no idea about the pen name.

ETA:  Just checked one of the inside pages with ISBN#, etc. on it and sure enough it says the book was copyrighted in 2002 by Carmel Thomaston.  Don't know why I didn't think to look there before.
