About

Do you have to know the solution to the mystery before you start writing your amazing new murder mystery? The "who" in whodunit? The how? The why? Not necessarily!

Explore how to create a taut mystery from start to finish without having all the answers. The secret is in your characters — understanding what makes them tick as individuals and how they relate to each other.

Robin Jeffrey

Robin can be found cranking out punchy flash fiction, lyrical essays, and world-rich romances. Her writing has been published in "The Mary Sue" and other magazines across the country and the world. Robin has taught classes both online and in-person with groups like Emerald City Romance Writers, SavvyAuthors, and Romance Writers of America. As a former librarian, she loves connecting people with the information they need!

Robin was born in Cheyenne, Wyo., to a psychologist and a librarian, giving her a love of literature and a consuming interest in the inner workings of people's minds, which have served her writing career well. She calls the Pacific Northwest home, where she lives happily with her husband and their out-of-control comic book collection.
