Robin began her writing career in high school, thanks to an insightful (and perhaps a tiny bit pushy) English teacher who, having decided that Robin was not living up to her potential, gave her extra, non-graded homework over her winter break: to read Douglas Adams’s The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Helene Hanff’s Q’s Legacy. In those pages Robin discovered how far good writing and a vivid imagination could take a reader, and she has been writing ever since.

Robin's debut novel, After the Fall, is the winner of two 2012 Golden Crown Literary Society Awards, two 2011 Rainbow Awards for LGBT Fiction and Non-fiction, and a 2011 Lesbian Fiction Readers Choice Award.​

Robin is an Illinois native who works in public policy in Washington, DC

The desire to write is there, but the creativity is lacking. When that happens, I usually will force myself to write anyway; if nothing else, if I can just get something down on paper that captures the broad sense of where I was trying to go, I can revisit that section later when my brain is in a more creative place and shape it into what I want. But when my writer's block is caused by non-writing things -- life, work, fear of failure, UFOs -- it can be much harder to force my way through it. Sometimes I just have to let the block pass. It always does, eventually.(less)

Things I've experienced, things that have happened to people I know, things in the news, etc. Often it starts with something small--a fragment of a thought or bit of dialogue or a question will pop into my head. Some I forget quickly, but some will fester and eventually I'll begin to unpack them to see if there's a story.(less)

“The plague took too much, from all of us. But we're here. We survived, and we work hard all week, just trying to keep surviving. There are always chores to do, crops to tend, animals to care for, fences to build. Another task to complete if we want to stay alive. But the fact that we survived, that we're still here when billions aren't, is worth celebrating. So once a week, on Saturday night, we have a party. We gather in the north barn, we eat, we laugh, we play music, we dance, and we try and remember the joy in a world steeped in misery.”
Robin Summers, After the Fall

“Survival means nothing if you don't have something to live for.”
Robin Summers, After the Fall
