She published scholarly books (on reproductive technologies,  politics and education) under the name Michelle Stanworth.

Michelle and her family were threatened by a dangerous stalker in the 1990s.That experience triggered her interest in crime writing. Every Breath You Take, the novel that introduces PI Laura Principal, is the first in a series of five set in the historic university city of Cambridge. It dives feet-first into the subject of stalking, as does the later London-based standalone titled The Night Lawyer.

During the late 1960’s and early 1970’s, while in college, Robinson worked as a free-lance writer for several magazines and was a staff writer for a weekly minority newspaper in Pasadena, California, called The Pasadena Eagle. However, as he himself admits, upon graduating from San Francisco State University, he decided against the ‘starving writer’ route and went to law school, at the University of San Francisco School of Law. It was there that he met his wife, Marcia Waldorf. After graduating from law school in 1975, the two moved to Honolulu, Hawaii and began practicing law. Robinson became a trial lawyer, specializing in personal injury and workers’ compensation law. Waldorf eventually became a Circuit Court judge.

Upon retiring in 2010, Robinson completed his first novel, Unplayable Lie. He has since published eight more novels, five of which are legal thrillers set in Honolulu: Tropical Lies, Tropical Judgments, Tropical Doubts, Tropical Deception, and Tropical Scandal. His other novels are The Pinochet Plot, Son of Saigon, and Rex, the Kid, the Wore, and the Scientist.

Robinson has also published a book of short travel stories, Conga Line on the Amazon.

Robinson and Waldorf divided their time between Honolulu and their second home in Taos, NM for seven years before finally deciding to see what it’s like to be full-time mainlanders again. They now live in Taos, where Robinson can pursue his non-writing passions of golf, ski, and travel.
