In her debut novel, THE SPIN CYCLE (Incorgnito Publishing Press, November 4, 2025), Robyn Stecher delivers an engaging, endearing, and humorous story set in the vibrant city of Philadelphia, where she celebrates the small wonders of everyday life that shine brightly in this transportive, uplifting novel. Stecher is a writer who knows her subjects deeply and writes about humanity and disability with expertise, wisdom, and grace.
Twenty-six year old Benji Goldstein knows who he is. He loves baseball, feels proud he graduated from college, and is living independently. But in a world where nobody views him as typical and few view him as capable, being neurodivergent means that no day is easy. When it comes to figuring out relationships or navigating the world, Benji’s on his own to figure it out. When his regular laundromat closes and he goes to a new one, everything changes. Befriending Bo, the older man who owns the laundromat, Benji starts to question how his disabilities define him and his future, and what he really wants. Benji’s friendship with Bo is the heart and soul of this inspiring story. Bo—a formerly homeless, notso-gentle giant—is in failing health, and scattered Benji bonds with him over their shared interests while they find ways to show each other the respect the world does not offer them.
Meanwhile, a romance with a woman who definitely knows what she wants is anything but easy. Benji’s nonexistent love life takes bloom with Britany, who is charmed by his inexperience. When Benji is left alone in the laundromat, and robbed at knifepoint, Bo—who does not know the whole story—is led to believe that Benji has betrayed him in the worst possible way. Benji will have to push himself far beyond his comfort level if he wants to save his friendship with Bo.
Stecher’s characters’ disabilities don’t deter them from charging forward and risking everything for what matters to them most: true love and friendship, and as readers we cheer them on.

"Have you ever replayed your divorce inside your head and thought you yourself, “I can write a book about this!” Well one woman did as a way to support others going through a traumatizing, life-alerting event such as a divorce. Yes, a divorce is pretty much going to change everything that has been familiar, but sometimes shaking things up can have a positive outcome. You know how you go to the store, sift through the racks, pick out a few things to try on and then go into the dressing room to see how they look? What is the first thing you do after you close the door behind you? Take off what you are wearing. You forget about those old items on the floor because you are so focused on trying on the cool new things you found. If you see one you like, you cannot wait to buy it, show it off at work, to your friends or on a date. Think of your divorce like that outfit, own it and feel great! That is what Robyn Stecher did after her divorce. She shifted to the mindset I am done feeling yucky! During the day Shecher but a lot of emphasis on her job, represents some of the biggest names in Hollywood. At night Shecher went home to work on her new book, “Just Who We Are,” which she carefully crafted to assure people, the best is yet to come, now let’s get you there!"
