Order of Robin McKinley Books

Robin McKinley is an American author of young adult fantasy novels. Robin grew up as an only child, whose father was in the U.S. Navy. Thus, she moved around a lot and credits as inspiration for her fiction. She always loved reading, and associated events, places and time periods based on the books she read. Besides being an author, Robin has worked as an editor/transcriber, researcher assistant, bookstore clerk, teacher and counselor, editorial assistant, barn manager, freelance editor, and full-time writer. She enjoys reading, walking her dogs, gardening, cooking, playing the piano, homeopathy and blogging. Robin has lived in Ohio, Maine, Massachusetts, New York and England – where she lives with her husband, Peter Dickinson.
