Butterfly Kisses
My father didn't cry at my wedding, and I was glad. I wouldn't have known what to do or how to react if he did. In fact, I went to great lengths to ensure that he wouldn't, because if he, someone I never saw cry, started crying, then I would start crying. That included abolishing the traditional father-daughter dance (though it wasn't the only one my husband and I abolished), and thus saving myself from the heart-tugging, tear-jerking beauty of the song Butterfly Kisses. I'd already succumbed to that song once, in one of my classes at university, and I didn't want to ever do so publicly again.

At 39+ Robyn considers herself a late entrant to the publishing world, but that's something I can relate to, being around the mid-30s myself. Starting her author journey late in life, however, has given Robyn some perks: life has given her so much to write about. She currently lives in Canada with her partner and daughter, and when she's not writing, they love going camping and fishing together.
