Robin Maxwell grew up in Plainfield, New Jersey, graduated
from Tufts University School of Occupational Therapy, and
practiced in that field for several years before moving to
Hollywood to become a parrot tamer, casting director and
finally a screenwriter. Working for the major studios and
networks she wrote comedy, drama and even feature animation
for Disney. Her credits include "Passions", a CBS movie of
the week, starring Joanne Woodward.
But somewhere along the line, the fifteenth and sixteenth
centuries, and women "ahead of their time," became Maxwell's
private obsession.
In April of 1997 her first novel, the award-winning
SECRET DIARY OF ANNE BOLEYN was
published and is now in its 20th printing. She followed with
THE QUEEN'S BASTARD
(1999), the Los
Angeles Times bestseller VIRGIN, Prelude
to the Throne (2001) and THE WILD
IRISH (2003) that together form her
"Elizabethan Quartet."
TO THE TOWER BORN (2005) took
Maxwell back a century to delve into the lives of Elizabeth
I's and Henry VIII's Tudor ancestors, and
MADEMOISELLE BOLEYN (2007) into the
fascinating childhood of the heroine who inspired her career
as an author.
The books have seen publication in England, Ireland, France,
Germany, Italy, Greece, Hungary, Portugal, Czech Republic,
the Ukraine, Japan and all the Spanish-speaking countries in
the world. Several books are in large print and audio
format. She is busy adapting her novels for the screen.
Maxwell, who co-wrote and produced the children's video
E-I-E-I YOGA, lives in
California's high desert with her husband, yogi Max Thomas,
and her two avian muses, Mr. Grey and Cookie.
