Author bio

Lynda Suzanne Robinson was born in Amarillo, Texas, and built her writing life out of scholarship, curiosity, and a willingness to change direction when the old plan no longer fit.

She studied anthropology at Rice University and later earned a PhD in anthropology, with a focus on archaeology, from the University of Texas at Austin. She also did fieldwork in both the United States and the Middle East, along with museum research and work connected to ancient art exhibits. That background matters when you read her fiction. Her settings tend to feel used and inhabited, not just researched.

By the time she finished her academic work, though, she knew she did not want to stay in academia. Her husband suggested that she try writing fiction instead. Robinson sat down, wrote a few pages, and realized very quickly that storytelling was what she wanted to do.

That turn changed everything.

At first, romance gave her a way into the period she loved most. She wanted to write about ancient Egypt, but publishers were wary of the setting, so she approached it through historical romance. Her first published novel, Heart of the Falcon, used ancient Egypt as the backdrop for danger, desire, and court intrigue. It also helped point her toward the body of work that would make her best known, the Lord Meren mysteries.

As Lynda S. Robinson, she wrote the Lord Meren series, beginning with Murder in the Place of Anubis. The books are set during the reign of Tutankhamun and follow a royal investigator moving through murders, palace secrets, religious conflict, and the lingering upheaval left behind by Akhenaten. Readers who love the series usually respond to the same blend of pleasures: a believable ancient world, careful plotting, and the constant sense that politics at court can be as dangerous as any knife.

As Suzanne Robinson, she wrote historical romances that often carry a mystery or suspense thread of their own. Lady Gallant, Lady Defiant, and Lady Valiant lean into Tudor politics, spies, divided loyalties, and heroines who are tougher than people first assume. Books like The Rescue, The Treasure, and Just Before Midnight shift to other settings, but they keep the same taste for hidden motives, sharp conflict, and stories that move.

Ancient Egypt never really left.

Robinson has said that even her romances often grew out of mystery, political intrigue, or both. That helps explain why her bibliography feels more connected than it first appears. Whether she is writing about Lord Meren protecting a young pharaoh or a heroine trying to outthink a blackmailer, assassin, or dangerous suitor, she comes back again and again to intelligence under pressure, the risks of trust, and the way private feeling can get tangled up with public danger.

She has also sounded refreshingly practical about the work itself. In interviews and biographical notes, the writing life comes across as something built day by day, with research, routine, and persistence doing as much of the lifting as inspiration. That grounded quality fits the books.

Robinson lives in Texas, in the south central hill country, with her husband. Her list is not enormous, but it covers an impressive stretch of time and place, from ancient Egypt to Tudor England to Victorian London and the Civil War South. What ties it all together is easy to spot once you read a few of her novels: deep research, strong narrative drive, and a clear fondness for characters who have to think fast when history turns dangerous.
