Robbie is one of those introverts who loves to stay out late at parties or hanging out with friends, but then has to crash for three days afterwards. He's been passionate about writing since he was 11 years old, when he started a cheesy novel about a group of medieval kids who were stranded alone in the woods and had to kill an elephant for food (Don't worry, all copies of that manuscript were destroyed with his old Gateway computer). He peaked in his early teenage years when he posted emo poetry on Xanga, and now writes young adult novels to help him relive his glory years and pretend like he's not almost 30. He lives in Arkansas with his talented wife, Amy, and their two head-strong daughters, Lucy and Hero.
