Robinne is an entomologist and educator by training, but has never been able to control her writing habit. She has been publishing her writing since she was nine years old and has been known to answer exam questions in verse. Unlike her exam answers, which were met with awkward silence by her Very Serious Professors, her stories have won multiple awards.Her fantasy books for children include the Dragon Defence League series and other books infested by unusual animals. For teens she's written the epic fantasy series, Fatecarver. She's also published three fantasy novels for adults, two non-fiction books about insects and a book of poetry.Robinne believes adventures are the key to writing. The list of her own adventures is long, and includes teaching with a live two-metre-long Burmese python and living in a mud house in Panama. She lives in rural Canterbury.Visit her at robinneweiss.com.
