Robin Reardon is an inveterate observer of human nature, creating stories about all kinds of people, some of whom happen to be gay or transgender or bisexual or intersex-people whose destinies are not determined solely by their sexual orientation or gender identity. She writes endings that are realistically hopeful rather than sugary and/or happy ever after.Reardon has five novels released through Kensington Publishing and six independently published novels. A Secret Edge was a finalist in the annual Lambda Literary competition; The Evolution of Ethan Poe was on the 2012 ALA Rainbow List and won first place in several Rainbow Awards categories; Waiting for Walker was awarded a cash prize by the North Street Book contest; and On Chocorua (book 1 of the Trailblazer series) won first place in the Pencraft Award for Literary Excellence. Reardon has contributed work for LBGTQ+ charitable causes, including a novella benefitting The Trevor Project and a short story supporting author Brent Hartinger's Real Story Safe Sex Project. Reardon writes in a butter yellow study overlooking the Boston skyline.
