Robyn Schneider

Robyn Schneider is an author of young-adult fiction who is expanding into adult romance. She is known for contemporary novels including The Beginning of Everything and Extraordinary Means, and for the fantasy novel Invisible Ghosts. Her most extensive series to date is the Emry Merlin trilogy—The Other Merlin, The Future King, and The New Camelot—a comic take on Arthurian legend for teen readers. Schneider has built her career moving between grounded contemporary stories and fantasy, and her forthcoming books include the YA romantasy Queensmage, from Viking Books, and the adult paranormal romance The Thirst Trap, from Berkley, both slated for 2027. That dual-track career, spanning realistic teen drama, fairy-tale-inflected fantasy, and now adult romance, reflects a willingness to shift genre and audience from book to book.
