Robin Gorley

I was born and raised in Denver Colorado. I am the oldest of four siblings. I moved to California in 1980 where I finished high school, graduated from our local college with a nursing degree. Shortly after I graduated from college, I met my husband. We married in 1987, and will be celebrating our 22nd wedding anniversary on Oct. 21st. In 1993, we were blessed to give birth to a 7 lb 1 oz boy...Steven is now 15, and is the joy of our life. WE have since added to our family with our pit-bull Roxy, and one of her pups that she had in January. They are Brown-Sugar. From there, I owned and operated a nonprofit organization, which closed in 2005.

Throughout my life, I have been a poetic writer. I not only like writing poetry, but I love to read poetry from all ages, and all walks of life. In the summer of 2004, I sought out a publisher, and by 2005 my first book was published. Since then I have published three more books, and looking forward to publishing more. In addition, to my poetry, I have also been awarded many awards for my poetry. I want to encourage you all to stop by my website and take a look. You can purchase my books online as well. My website address is www.alifetimeofwords.com. Enjoy!

To help support my book signings, and events I have a home business on the side doing desktop publishing, creating websites, and many other things. I am also heavily involved in the small community of Casmalia where I reside...I am on the board of directors water district, and have been successful in securing two major grants for our water projects. I am also a member of Altrusa International, Inc. of the Central Coast, where I serve as their Communications Chair, and I am serving as the board secretary. I am a member of the Santa Maria Women's Network where I currently serve on their board of directors as their secretary, and Vice President.
