Robbins was raised in Pennsylvania. Until he was eight he lived in an outlying area of Philadelphia. Robbins spent many of his teen years on a farm owned by his Mennonite great aunt and uncle in Pennsylvania Dutch country. Water was brought in from an outdoor pump, and they used an outhouse.[ citation needed]
At seventeen Robbins enlisted in the United States Air Force and became a sergeant. After his honorable discharge he attended college and went into broadcasting. He worked as an announcer and engineer and later as a program director at various radio stations. Later still he entered law enforcement and then took to writing full-time.[ citation needed]
At one time or another Robbins has lived in Pennsylvania, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Montana, Colorado and the Pacific Northwest. He spent a year and a half in Europe, traveling through France, Italy, Greece and Germany. He lived for more than a year in Turkey.[ citation needed]
His writing has been critically praised by the Pulp Rack, among others.[ citation needed] He is known for two current long-running series.
His works have been published in nine languages.
Robbins suffers from familial hemiplegic migraine. His father had the same condition, and would isolate himself in a dark room for days at a time to recover.
