Robin Paige is the pen name of the authorial team consisting of Susan Wittig Albert and her husband, Bill Albert. While Robin Paige is best known for the "Sir Charles Sheridan" series of mystery novels, it is worth noting that the name is a pseudonym used by the Alberts. The series, set in the Victorian and Edwardian eras, features two amateur sleuths, Kate Ardleigh Sheridan and Sir Charles Sheridan, who use their wit and knowledge of new forensic techniques to solve mysteries.
Bill Albert, who grew up exploring the outskirts of Houston and pursuing research interests in history and archaeology, brings a unique set of skills to the writing partnership. His experiences in the Army, including research at the Smithsonian and the Library of Congress, as well as his interests in photography, firearms, and travel, have informed the settings and details of the Robin Paige series.
Susan Wittig Albert is also a successful author in her own right, known for her China Bayles herbal mysteries, the Darling Dahlias, and the Cottage Tales of Beatrix Potter, as well as for her memoirs and edited collections. Albert's writing has been praised for its attention to detail and richly drawn characters, and these strengths are evident in the Robin Paige series as well.
The Alberts have collaborated on the Robin Paige series since 1994, completing twelve books and creating a world that transports readers to the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The series, which begins with 'Death at Bishop's Keep', has been well-received by readers and critics alike, and the Alberts' partnership has been a successful and enjoyable one. When not writing, the Alberts can be found on their 31-acre property in the Texas Hill Country, surrounded by animals and nature.
