About Merry Robin
Merry Robin Publishing, LLC was dreamed up and created by sister-duo Holly Kolb and Jayne Ann Osborne. Holly is our in-house editor and Jayne Ann is our designer. Together, we have published over a dozen books for authors who never thought publishing a book could become a reality.
Merry Robin Publishing was born in June, 2022 when an unexpected opportunity fell into our laps. Holly and I had been toying with the idea of starting our own publishing house following the publication of Jayne Ann's first children's book, When Mommies Get Sick. We created a logo and daydreamed about publishing books together for other people some day. It wasn't until we met Carolyn Kasteler and began our work on Watching Over Angels together that Merry Robin Publishing really began to come together and come to life.
