Edward Volney Robison is an American writer of short stories, novels, and screenplays. His work often focuses on the experiences and challenges of blue-collar America, particularly in the logging regions of the Pacific Northwest.[1]
Born in Bellingham, Washington to Mildred and Volney Robison, Ed Robison is the middle child of three siblings. The family later moved to Los Angeles, where Robison spent most of his childhood. After graduating high school, he held various jobs, including work for the Los Angeles County Superior Court. When the Korean War began in 1950, he enlisted in the United States Air Force. A year later, Robison served in Korea as a radio intercept operator. Upon his 1954 discharge, he returned to Southern California and began working as a computer programmer for aerospace manufacturer Rockwell International. Simultaneously, he attended UCLA[2] where he studied writing under Leonardo Bercovici, the renowned screenwriter and educator.
Robison retired from Rockwell and, after a brief period with Hughes Aircraft, relocated to an old ranch house in Port Angeles, Washington.[1]
North Light Gallery
Together with his wife, Marlene, Robison opened North Light Gallery,[3] which showcased Northwest artists and craftspeople. During his time owning North Light Gallery, Robison gathered inspiration for his fiction from the diverse community members who visited his business.[4] This period was his most productive, producing enough short stories for several volumes. During this time, Robison also hosted a classical music broadcast for 13 years on KONP Port Angeles and was a member of the Port Angeles Symphony board. The Robisons eventually sold the gallery and retired completely.
