Known for his offbeat plots and inventive style, the American novelist Thomas Eugene Robbins, b. Blowing Rock, N.C., 1936, is widely read by high school and college students. After attending several colleges, Robbins worked as a copy editor for three newspapers--the Richmond Times-Dispatch, the Seattle Times (where he was also art critic), and the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. (a publisher bio quoted on levity.com )
Thomas Eugene Robbins was born in Blowing Rock N.C. on July 22, 1936. He had taught himself to read and was writing stories by the age of 5. After attending several colleges, Robbins worked as a copy editor for three newspapers--the Richmond Times-Dispatch, the Seattle Times (where he was also an art critic), and the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. He also spent three years in the Air Force as a meteorologist in Korea where he studied Japanese culture and aesthetics in Tokyo. (a fan bio)
There is "A Tentative Chronology" of Robbins?s life--amusing and maybe even accurate--at http://www.rain.org/%7Eda5e/trbio.html
