T E RobinsI've spent my whole life writing - I wrote my first novel in a spiral-bound notebook when I was twelve.Even that very early novel was inspired by (maybe stolen from?) my favourite childhood books. I loved mysteries with a strong sense of setting. I aways wanted to write myself a part in those stories and work and play alongside the characters.I still love books that can pull me in and make me feel, "that's a place I'd like to live," "those are people I'd like to spend time with." Writers like Louise Penny, Dick Francis, Kathy Reichs, and Sara Rosett give me that feeling, and when not reading books by these, and other talented authors, I write my own.I write immersive, page-turning mysteries about ordinary people with complicated histories.To help generate ideas for my writing, I hike, run, ride horses, and volunteer with my local food centre, and my best times are doing just about anything with my two university-aged children, my husband, and our sweet rescue potcake.
