Lorin Robinson’s career has been split primarily between university teaching/ administration and business. He chaired the Journalism Department at the University of Wisconsin—River Falls for 10 years after founding and managing the school’s public radio station. He then joined 3M Company as a marketing communications manager. After 24 years at 3M, he returned to teaching—in the Graduate College of Business, University of St. Thomas. Robinson has BS and MS Degrees in Journalism from Northwestern University and a PhD in Communication from the University of Minnesota. Over the years, Robinson has also worked as a professional journalist, photojournalist and freelance magazine writer. He is currently a contributing writer to Shutterbug Magazine, a publication geared for professional and dedicated amateur photographers. This is his first effort at writing fiction—unless one includes advertising and public relations copy. He and Linda, his wife and editor, split their time between Lake Elmo, MN; Taos, NM and Baja California Sur.
