Willow Skye Robinson is a resident of Michigan, but for more than twenty years, she and her two children lived in many different states as her husband, a career Army officer, was transferred from base to base.

In spite of frequent moves, Willow earned a teaching degree and went to work. Though she put in long days, she always found time to write, and she published many of the short stories that she created for her students and for her kids. Bruce the pegasus emerged as the bruised and battered hero of many of these stories, and Willow's family finally demanded a full-fledged book about the problem-plagued prince. When Willow and her husband retired and moved to west-central Michigan, they built a cabin on the shores of the mighty, magic Muskegon River, and Willow got busy with that book.

Though writing takes up most of her time, Willow is also a vocalist, musician, and composer. She has released three albums and has begun composing the fourth, due out this summer of 2004.
