Robinson's career as a writer started out in comic books with several stints on indie comics. After that he wrote screenplays, several of which were produced, optioned or in development (including the screenplay version of The Didymus Contingency).
His switch to book writing came with The Screenplay Workbook in 2003. He has since written several novels: Raising the Past (2006, Breakneck Books) and The Didymus Contingency (2005) and his third novel, Antarktos Rising, also from Breakneck Books. His most recent works are from Thomas Dunne Books, and concern a group called the "Chess Team".
Robinson's first novel, The Didymus Contingency, was a self-publishing success story. The book quickly became Lulu.com's #1 fiction title, a Barnes&Noble.com bestseller selling thousands of copies, has been translated into multiple languages and landed Robinson a top literary agency, Trident Media Group. The story of Robinson's success will be told in How I Got Published: Authors Tell You How In Their Own Words, a Writer's Digest book by Ray White.
The Didymus Contingency tells the story of Tom Greenbaum, a man who goes back in time to disprove the story of Jesus, and his friend, David Goodman, who chases him into the past, attempting to stop his friend from altering history.
