Author's Journey
Meet Robin Alden Howard
Robin writes dark, emotionally-charged fiction with razor-sharp edges and tender undercurrents. Her stories blend love and trauma, survival and obsession, with characters who don’t just break—they unravel.
She’s the voice behind the Four Husbands and a Bottle of Trouble series, where resilience is messy, love is dangerous, and control is always an illusion.
Robin lives somewhere between memory and madness, fueled by caffeine, stubbornness, and a relentless need to write the truth—even in fiction.
When she’s not tearing out the hearts of her readers, she’s baking ridiculously good cookies, sidestepping reality with wit, or pretending she has time to rest.
She doesn’t just write stories. She writes scars.
