Robin Tatum

Robin Tatum has always been passionate about reading and writing. Growing up with undiagnosed ADHD forced her to find humorous, creative ways to deal with her daily blunders. She began rewriting her days into scenes, which blossomed into a work of fiction. Writing YA crossover novels in the horror/fantasy genre with strong threads of mystery, she loves to incorporate humor and whimsy into her work. She has published poetry and short stories. When not writing or reading, she enjoys working with her critique group, spending time with her family, and watching birds.
