Robin writes atmospheric cozy mysteries with a fondness for characters who notice what everyone else would rather overlook. A lifelong reader with a weakness for historical fiction, fantasy, science fiction, space opera, and mystery in almost every form, she brings a detail-loving former paralegal’s eye to stories of clues, records, motives, and inconvenient truths.

Robin is the author of the Sister Aveline Medieval Mysteries, set in the fictional English coastal community of Merewyk, where monastic bells, salt wind, village gossip, and long-buried secrets rarely stay quiet for long.

She is currently working on the next book in the series.

"I received this as an ARC directly from the Author.

I was intrigued by the medieval setting -- 1293 in England. Not a history major, but the feel certainly seems authentic. The language usage is clear but, at the same time, feels a bit old fashioned, " Read more of this review »
