Robin is an author and grew up in Chicago. She currently lives in Southern California with her family, two dogs and one cat who she considers her co-author. When she’s not spending time in the World of Asadore, she loves to be outdoors visiting National Parks. Bryce Canyon and Zion are two of her favorites. She is a superfan of fantasy and historical fiction stories and loves to write stories that she knows other superfans would love to read.
Consistently throughout Charley Daveler’s plays, short stories, comics, and now novels, her characters trudge through horrific, wondrous fantasy worlds. Described as bold and entertaining, flawed and edgy, her works dig into dark topics such as depression, isolation, agoraphobia, and the downfalls of idolized traits. A produced playwright and web comic artist for over a decade, she has written dozens of book manuscripts before finally debuting her fantasy novel, MAKING THE HORIZON (Sept. 2020). The creative story of 12 ignored artists looks into different minds, mental illnesses, and values as they are spirited away into a blank, new world to become gods.
I’ve been an actor, a director, a theatre professor, and a freelance writer. I’ve studied playwriting, theatre history, and how to teach actors. My plays have been produced in New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, Kansas City MO, and (I love this!) Cape Town, South Africa.
Then a character in one of my plays had a new story to tell—a story that would never fit on a stage. So I wrote a novel, The Dry Country. That was so much fun that I wrote another novel, Siljeea Magic, and got it published by Black Rose Writing! You can find both novels on Amazon.
Now I’m working on another novel, and another play.
I live in Ithaca, NY, with a husband and three cockatiels.
