Carmel Parsons Thomaston (Sept. 25, 1952 - Dec. 2, 2002) was the founder and editor of Painted Rock and the free online magazine for writers, The Rock.

Carmel wrote under the pen name Fay Robinson, penning several novels for Harlequin. Her first book, A MAN LIKE MAC, won the Rita award for Best First Book from Romance Writers of America in July. Her second, Coming Home To You, won a Maggie award from Georgia Romance Writers as an unpublished manuscript and a Rita award for Best Long Contemporary Romance.

Fay believed in love at first sight, happily-ever-after endings, and that some hearts are destined to be together. How can she not? Her English mother and American father married by transatlantic telephone six months after their first and only date. Fay had her own rendezvous with destiny while doing a story on a firefighter for her local newspaper. That night she told her best friend, "Today I met the man I'm going to marry."

A Man Like Mac is on my keeper shelf. I was so saddened when I heard of Robinson's passing.

She is one of the person who was most loved among the fellow authors. Lorraine Heath asked me if she can write something for her: I read in her words that Carmel was very special. Elisa

Yes, Robinson was well loved. She was an auto buy for me one I discovered A Man Like Mac.

Lorraine Heath wrote another of my all time favorite stories. Always to Remember.

A Man Like Mac was a book that showed me there was more to romance than the stereotypes. It is an excellent book.

Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately we have only few books as legacy from her. Elisa
