Urban-Reviews.com - Inside Out with Daphine Glenn Robinson

Daphine Glenn Robinson

Daphine Glenn Robinson, a native of Spartanburg, SC, acquired a Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communications from Winthrop University and a Master of Business Administration from Charleston Southern University. She is a member of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Incorporated and is currently promoting her latest novel, Caring What People Think.

Robinson’s storytelling abilities culminated during her early childhood years. Being an only child until the age of ten, a pen and a sheet of paper always provided a way of escape from boredom. While other children were outside playing, she spent quiet time in her room playing with dolls, reading, journaling and creating stories. Elements of those stories have now evolved into full-length books.

Momisms: Mama Never Told Me There Would Be Days Like This was Robinson’s premiere project, mirroring the crazy things that happened in the Robinson household after the birth of her two children. Shortly thereafter, Robinson stepped into the arena of fiction as she entertained readers with the repercussions that resulted as devastating secrets were revealed in Brotherly Love & Betrayal.

Urban Reviews: Tell our readers about Caring What People Think.
Daphine Glenn Robinson: Well, Caring What People Think is about a young woman who allows pain from her past to block blessings in her future.

Urban Reviews: Where did you come up with idea for this novel?
Daphine Glenn Robinson: The opening scene was an idea I had one day as I sat in my driveway waiting for my garage door to open. I thought, "What if I saw someone hanging in the garage as the door opened?" Sounds morbid, but that’s how it started.

Urban Reviews: What are your goals as a writer?
Daphine Glenn Robinson: I want to share life stories with lots of drama while blessing the reader with a holistic, redeeming message.

Urban Reviews: You also have another book called Brotherly Love and Betrayal. Can you share with us what that is all about?
Daphine Glenn Robinson: Brotherly Love and Betrayal is about a woman who finds comfort in the arms of one of her husband’s relatives. I wanted to address infidelity and forgiveness in the marriage in this book.

Urban Reviews: What has been the biggest challenge that you had to overcome in regards to your novels?
Daphine Glenn Robinson: I am self-published, which offers its own set of challenges. Many times doors are shut because of those two words. However, I am now able to get into large chain bookstores and my name and books are more recognized since I’ve been hustling for the last three years.

Urban Reviews: Has there been anyone in the literary world that has provided you with great advice or inspiration?
Daphine Glenn Robinson: Victoria Christopher Murray and Kimberla Lawson Roby have offered me very sound advice and encouragement over the years.

Urban Reviews: Do you have any planned projects for the future?
Daphine Glenn Robinson: Yes, I am currently working on Jail House Religion, which if I’m not picked up by an agent or publisher, will be released in 2010.

Urban Reviews: What is one misconception about the business that aspiring authors should know the truth about?
Daphine Glenn Robinson: I, like many, thought that once you published a book, all of your financial troubles would be over! NOT! Most of the money I make goes right back into the business of printing, editing, and promoting.

Urban Reviews: What things do you like to do when you are not penning your next novel?
Daphine Glenn Robinson: I love to dance, read, and spend quality time with my family.

Urban Reviews: Is there anything else you would like to share about yourself or your novel?
Daphine Glenn Robinson: If you’ve been hurting, dealt with depression, or knows someone with bipolar disorder, Caring What People Think is the book for you. You may think I’ve written it about someone you know!
