Robin R Robinson

Born and raised in Sacramento, California, Robin Renee Robinson moved to LA to pursue a career in front of the camera in the early '80s.  Although she had stars in her eyes, Robin was not one to waitress or to starve for that matter, so her nine-to-five's included stints at ABC-TV, Lorimar Productions, Motown Productions, Eddie Murphy Productions, Wing Records, Ivory Way Productions (Keenen Wayans production company) Sony Pictures Entertainment, and 20th Century Fox Television.  Her duties were varied and included working in casting, creative affairs, marketing, post and pre production, and business affairs.

After obtaining her AA from Los Angeles City College, Robin went on to USC where she majored in Broadcast Journalism.  Years later, Robin reunited with USC when she was tapped to be one of fifteen (out of a field of 300) who made it into the prestigious Guy Hanks/Marvin Miller Screenwriting Program after submitting a Wayans Brothers' (television series) spec script.  Robin eventually earned her BA in Management from Saint Mary's College of California in Moraga in 2005.   

Robin's first novel:  Chocolate Lemons and Peppermint Tears: The Bittersweet Life of Xena will be published by XYP in 2009.  Initially, the first chapter In the Beginning was an entry in Essence short story contest in 1990.  She didn't win; however, that chapter evolved into the tome it is today.  She has also penned teleplays, a screenplay, a stage play, an awards show, and poetry. 

In December 2007, Robin completed a run in the original stage play The Gift.  She does voiceovers, has done stand-up, is signed with Cast Images, a local talent agency in Sacramento, and she enjoys to journal; has been doing so since she was 12 years old.  She is an avid reader, loves to dance, collects refrigerator magnets and will soon begin work on her next novel.
