Personal life

Robinson was born in Beverly, Massachusetts, where he lived until he was 20. He resides in New Hampshire with his wife and three children, where he works as a full-time writer.

Robinson is a gamer and his experiences while gaming with a group of friends formed the basis for his 2018 novel Space Force, which is loosely based on the Battle Royale game format and features many tropes from that genre.

Career

Robinson's career as a writer started out in comic books with several stints on indie comics. After that he wrote screenplays, several of which were produced, optioned or in development (including the screenplay version of The Didymus Contingency). His switch to book writing came with The Screenplay Workbook in 2003. He has since written over sixty novels, which are available in twelve languages, including the Nemesis Saga and the Chess Team series published by Thomas Dunne Books, an imprint of St. Martin's Press. Robinson is a former Director of New Hampshire AuthorFest,[3] a non-profit organization promoting literacy in New Hampshire.
