Robin Bridges
As a child Robin Bridges loved to write poetry and make her own books. She enrolled in a theatre course at college, but transferred into English after rediscovering her passion for storytelling. After attempting to write serious, literary fiction for adult readers while also teaching middle grade students, she began writing for a juvenile audience. She also trained as a pediatric nurse, and continues to juggle writing with nursing. She lives with her family on the Gulf Coast in the United States.
Her first book, The Gathering Storm, was published in 2012. It is the first installment in The Katerina Trilogy, a historical fantasy series about a Russian necromancer set at the end of the nineteenth century. Her other YA novels, Dreaming of Antigone and The Form of Things Unknown, both published in 2016, are set in the modern day but draw on literary intertexts, including Sophocles and Shakespeare.
