Robin is a former CIA operative, (OK actually a former CIA telephone operator) who writes thrillers.  His first novel, I Didn't Spill the Beans, almost (according to Robin) could have been nominated for an award but the Agency stopped the nomination, as well as publication.

He has since published five thrilling novels with a nautical setting. He wants to be able to interact, to change information quickly and do it all without learning to be a programmer.
