About the Author

Dick Robinson is a Pulitzer Prize–nominated writer, professional genealogist, public speaker, and publisher. For over five decades, he has written for major newspapers, magazines, and media outlets, including The Washington Post syndicate and The New York Times. A former board-certified genealogist, he founded Legacy Scribe Books, LLC, and is the Amazon-bestselling author of Blind Black Sheep. Echoes in the Blood is his sixth book, and it grew from a personal question about what families carry forward—beyond names, dates, and records.
Robinson writes from a belief that history is not distant — it moves quietly through families, memory, and choice. Blending decades of research with narrative storytelling, he invites readers to see the past not as a list of dates, but as a living inheritance. In his writing, the historian and storyteller move together, guided by a single question: what do we carry forward, often without realizing it?
