Oxford author’s new release launching at Six on the Square
OXFORD – An aspiring Oxford novelist will be celebrating the release of her new book Thursday night at Oxford’s Six on the Square after a professional publishing company decided to endorse her latest romantic work.
Cathy Holden Robinson’s new book, “The House of Roses,” is already available in stores and online at Amazon.com
From 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday evening, Six on the Square will host a launch party at the Village of Oxford venue to celebrate and endorse the artist’s recent achievement. The event will include free refreshments, a chance at causal conversations with the author and signed copies of her book will be on sale.
“The book would be categorized in the romance genre, and the primary message is the importance of love and personal relationships, which seem to be set aside in favor of pursuits of lesser importance such as the pursuit of wealth, careers, and the accumulation of material possessions,” said Robinson.
“The book follows two ex-lovers, Caitlin Goodrich and Dr. Colin Thomas, along their parallel journeys as they fight to reconnect with each other. They each must travel into their pasts to discover the truth about who they are, and lay old ghosts to rest, before they came become whole, and only when they are whole, can they truly love one another,” Robinson said.
Robinson said she began writing causally in 2004, but dedicated herself to a career pursuit in 2006 after the untimely death of her father reinvigorated her emotional perspective on life.
“In March of 2005, my dad was diagnosed with Stage IV Pancreatic Cancer, and life, as I knew it, changed drastically,” she said.
“The House of Roses” was set aside until Robinson’s father passed away and its reincarnation was founded on the tragic introspective of life and relationships gained during such a traumatic life experience, she explained.
“After Dad’s death in January of 2006, I began to apply myself, with earnest, to the completion of a novel. It helped me with the grieving process, and I knew I couldn’t linger long in the dark place I found myself in moments after he passed,” she said.
After receiving a mixed but constructive response from the publishing industry over her first book, “In the Shadows of Angels,” Robinson’s second book has received remarkably quick endorsement for an unknown author, going from a signature on a contract to publication in less than a year.
“Even the rejection helped validate my path as a writer. The response from them was basically ‘Hey you can write you, just have to write something we can sell.’ So I walked away and back to the drawing board,” said Robinson.
Robinson is nearing completion of her third book, which is tentatively titled “The Aardvark Chronicles.” The book is a first person romantic comedy involving an eccentric writer.
On Aug. 19, Robinson will be attending a book signing at the coffee house, Cup-A-Joe, at 1355 Front St., Binghamton. Then on Aug. 21 she will be at the RiverRead Books store at 5 Court St., Binghamton from 7 to 8 p.m.
Also on Sept. 11 she will be attending Chenango County’s annual Colorscape Festival, signing books in front of the Guernsey Memorial Library.
