edit data

Hello book worms! Unless you prefer book dragon? I am J.M. Robison. I write fantasy books where heroes don't follow the rules. I joined the U.S. Army at 17 which has brought me rich experience in different cultures, religions, and ethnicities to add variety to my world-building and characters (to date I have visited Italy, Germany, Romania, Bulgaria, Afghanistan, Qatar, U.A.E., and Kuwait.)

The Makings of The Last Wizard Series

Always the question: where did you get the idea to write The Last Wizard?Always the answer: Like a Facebook relationship...it's complicated.I had just finished writing The War Queen (now published by Tirgearr Publishing)and I was chomping at the bit to write another story. Any story. Living in Elko, NV at the time, me and my husband spent an evening in Salt Lake City, UT. 11 p.m. came around and w Read more of this blog post »

I give this book 1 star, because though 20% WAS helpful and I can use their recomendations, the other 80% of the book was extremly condescending in a "Shame on you Allistic Person. Austitic people are picked on, and it's all your fault" manner. ...more

J.M.’s Quotes

“Vice is a monster of so frightful mien
As to be hated needs but to be seen;
Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face,
We first endure, then pity, then embrace.”
― Alexander Pope

“People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.

What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.

Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.

In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.”
― Kent M. Keith
