The Collinsville Public Library Comedy of Errors Book Club has invited Christian fiction author Terrye Robins to speak at their monthly meeting to be held on Thursday, February 22, 2007, at 6:30 p.m. The library is located at 1223 Main St. and the public is invited to attend. After the presentation, Terrye will be autographing copies of her new mystery novel, Trouble in Paradise, which will be available there for purchase. Hawaiian music, videos and treats will play a part in the festivities.

Trouble in Paradise begins in the charming town of Paradise, Oklahoma. Allison Kane is a third grade teacher by day and a sleuth by night. Her humdrum life is turned upside down when she becomes the obsession of an unscrupulous new neighbor. As she tries to unravel a puzzle that plagues her neighborhood, she is drawn deeper into the man’s sordid secrets.

An unexpected door opens and for a time, Allie is whisked away to the sandy beaches and clear blue skies of Hawaii. While there, she meets many interesting people, visits spectacular sites and finds an unusual way to help local law enforcement.

Her quirky Great-aunt Edith adds spice to the story with her funny antics. Allie’s unique and loving family will warm your heart.

The unforgettable characters created by talented author, Terrye Robins, will delight you. The Oklahoma hospitality and enchantment of Hawaii will leave you longing for more. When you combine generous portions of suspense with dashes of humor and add a sprinkling of romance, then you’ve got Trouble in Paradise!

Terrye Robins was born and raised in Oklahoma. She received numerous awards in music and writing while in high school. After graduation, she moved to Aiea, Hawaii, and worked in Honolulu. She served as a pianist and Sunday school teacher at a church in Kaneohe, a town on the windward side of the island of Oahu. After returning to the mainland, she married and had two sons.

Terrye obtained a Bachelor’s of Science degree in elementary education from Northeastern State University and taught school for several years. After leaving the classroom, she continued to share her love of books with others by opening a children’s bookstore.

She enjoys reading, walking, playing the piano and organ and spending time with her family and friends. She resides in northeastern Oklahoma and is currently working on the second book in the series, Revenge in Paradise.
