Interview With Author Ruhamah Robinson
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a Pakistani author who grew up in Dubai, UAE. I love writing stories that uplift, comfort, and entertain. I’ve written two children’s books so far, and I’m also working on Christian books and future light romance–mystery–comedy stories. Writing is my way of sharing joy, faith, and creativity with readers of all ages.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My newest book is You Were Made to Shine. It follows Luma, a tiny star who learns that her light, no matter how small, is precious. I was inspired to write this story because I wanted children—especially those who feel shy, different, or overlooked—to know that they are important. It’s a soft and encouraging story meant to help children feel seen, valued, and confident in who they are.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I wouldn’t call them unusual, but I do have little habits that help me write. I often brainstorm scenes in my head long before I touch the keyboard, and I tend to write best late at night when everything is quiet.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Several authors have influenced my writing across different genres. Meg Cabot has inspired me with her ability to blend humor, romance, and relatable characters. Joanne Fluke and Charlaine Harris have shown me how to create cozy, engaging mysteries with charm and suspense. In terms of faith-based writing, Quin Sherrer and Lindsey Carlson have shaped how I approach Christian nonfiction with warmth, clarity, and encouragement.
What are you working on now?
Right now, I’m working on two projects. The first is a Christian children’s mystery book, which blends faith-based lessons with gentle suspense and fun problem-solving. The second is a Christian novel, which explores emotional struggles, spiritual silence, and the reminder that God is present even when we feel overlooked or unheard.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
At the moment, I mostly use Pinterest to promote my books. I love how visual and creative the platform is—it helps me share snippets of my stories, artwork, and themes in a simple way. I’m still learning about other promotional methods, and I hope to expand my presence as I grow as an author.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
My advice for new authors is to start small but stay consistent. Don’t wait for the “perfect moment” or “perfect idea”—just begin. Write a little every day, trust your voice, and let your story grow naturally. And most importantly, don’t compare your journey to anyone else’s. Every writer blooms at their own pace.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
The best advice I’ve ever heard is to be consistent. Whether it’s writing, learning, or pursuing any goal, showing up every day and putting in the effort, even in small amounts, leads to progress and growth over time.
What are you reading now?
I’m reading a little bit of everything! A Christian devotional to keep my spirit encouraged. I like to switch between reflection and imagination—it keeps me motivated as a writer.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Next for me is to complete my current projects and continue writing books that inspire, uplift, and entertain. I hope to grow as an author and reach more readers across children’s literature, Christian books, and light fiction.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
I would choose a mix that balances entertainment, mystery, and spiritual growth. I’d bring one from the She Baked series by Joanne Fluke, because I love cozy mysteries with a touch of humor; one of the Aurora Teagarden series by Charlaine Harris, since I enjoy clever, character-driven mysteries; a Sherlock Holmes collection by Arthur Conan Doyle, because his brilliant detective stories never get old; and for spiritual nourishment, A Woman’s Guide to Spiritual Warfare by Quin Sherrer and Growing in Godliness by Lindsey Carlson, as they help me stay grounded and grow in faith even in challenging circumstances.
