Dr. Cris Robins (DBA) has over 25 years of experience as a published author, manuscript editor, researcher, award-winning journalist and technical writer resulting in recognition at local, national, and international levels for her research based non-fiction work. Her first book-length work, "Finding Grace" introduced the G.R.A.C.E. acronym as Gratitude, Reverence, Acceptance, Commitment, and Excitement. She has dove-tailed this into a nation consulting firm, Robins & Associates. Her second work, "My Dearest Jacob" was nationally sanctioned by Alcohol Anonymous and may be placed on their next suggested reading list. Her only audio CD, "Stories to Sleep to" has become the preferred choice by large hospital's neo-natal ICUs to put their patients to sleep. It has also been informally proven to work as well on small children as it does adults. Her diet book, "The Not Perfect - But Better - Diet book follows all the recommended daily allowances by the FDA, the American Heart Association, and the American Diabetes Foundation. She is currently working on her next project, "Business Grace - 10 keys to success (that they don't teach in business school)". Dr. Robins calls St. Louis, MO home and hopes to get back there very soon.
