About Me

Hi! I'm a novelist and the mom of a nine year old son, six year old daughter, and a very cute but extremely nervous little dog. After several years toiling in the advertising industry, I wrote a humorous novel inspired by my experiences. "The Journal of Mortifying Moments" was published by Ballantine Books (Random House NY) in 2004.I also have a short story in the anthology "Girls Night Out" with 25 other fabulous female writers. Proceeds from the book will be donated to Warchild and No Strings. I recently attended the launch party in New York and can safely say that it was one of the highlights of my (rather mundane) life!My new book, "The Secret Desires of a Soccer Mom" is out now! It's a comedy about Paige, a bored suburban housewife whose best friend confesses to a steamy love affair. Paige can't help but feel envious until her friend turns up dead, lying in a pool of blood in her attached garage. The neighbourhood thinks it was a simple fall, but they don't know the adulterous secret that could change everything!!!If you're interested in learning more about me or my books, visit my website: www.robynharding.com
