She also is a contributor to The Secret Ingredient: A Mystery Writers Cookbook. A former dancer, Lori performed with a number of modern dance and classical ballet companies, including Ballet Hispanico and the St. Louis Ballet.

Praise for the On Pointe Mystery Series


"Robbins, a former ballerina, steeps the novel in the glamorous grunge of the dance world...The result is a suspenseful romp with loads of atmosphere. A highly entertaining whodunit with a twisty plot and plenty of biting ballet intrigue." - Kirkus Review [starred review]

"Robbins does an outstanding job of juxtaposing the ballet world with the investigative process that challenges Leah's set roles, forcing her to new heights of realization about the world of dance, her colleagues, and her own ambitions. This makes for compelling reading... the tension is finely drawn and the movements between dance and death assume their own form of masterful entwining that keeps readers involved in a realistic character's moves. Exquisitely complex, nicely steeped in both drama and the competitive atmosphere of the dance world." - D. Donovan, Sr. Reviewer, Midwest Book Review
