Robin Castle Revealed
Bio
Robin Castle likes to try new things. Hikes near unfamiliar streams where she attempts to jump over logs that turn out to be unsuspecting alligators (causing her to back away slowly and breathlessly, getting in her cardio), exploring different regions, learning new languages (Dia Duit!), and starting a podcast with a total stranger are all par for the course.
Her favourite activity?
Writing. Robin Castle writes the stories she wants to read: stories with fresh, nuanced characters, compelling settings, and a bit of humour.
Her perfect day?
Sipping coffee on a dark, stormy day whilst playing Stardew Valley multiplayer with her family. Or exploring her beloved Ireland. And always, reading.
