Daughters of Ashby

Robyn Ann McKenzie has been publishing poetry and entering writing contests since she was eleven years old. After a stint as a ezine editor-in-chief and five years as an independent online writer, she now enjoys mentoring young writers online. She is a member of Portland Women Writers and the Portland Writer’s Group. She loves to blend her passion for storytelling with her obsession of Renaissance Faire and pirate festivals, dressing up for events and listening to Celtic music as she types. Robyn is a musician and has played in everything from wild pep bands to formal symphonic orchestras. Music also brought her romance, and she married her youth band sweetheart, Matt. They continue to perform around Portland, Oregon, as a ＂two for one deal,＂ him on horn, her on trombone. Other interests include sailing, hiking, playing with her cat, and randomly cackling in the kitchen as a self-proclaimed ＂coffee mad scientist.＂
