Half British, half North Carolinian, C.E. Robinson (Charles) was born and raised on a small farm on the coast and now lives outside Austin, Texas with his wife and a few cats. He is a scientist, philosopher, and writer, having been a nuclear power engineer, a student of Eastern philosophy, and a Ph.D. research scientist specializing in environmental toxicology. 

Thriteen years ago, Charles went through a crisis of the mind when an epic story replete with real characters spontaneously unfolded in his mind. 

“Writing wasn’t something I chose,” Robinson says. “This story, these characters, one day appeared, and then kept haunting me until I wrote it down. Thirteen years later, they continue to haunt me if I don’t write every day. It’s like a dam broke in my mind and now the story won’t stop flowing. I wish I could say the story slowly reveled itself, but that’s not true. I had no choice but to write down this new reality playing out in my mind.”

Originally, he started writing what he thought was the beginning of The Michael Archives, but as the years went by, he kept discovering earlier pieces of the story. What originally he thought was Book 1 turned out to be Book 5. Several years ago, he found the beginning of The Michael Archives and for the last few years has completed and refined the story, LILITH, now ready for publication.

The Michael Archives is the story of the war in the Celestial Heavens between the Angels and the Overlords, The Givers and The Takers, and how that war continues to impact millions of populated worlds throughout the Universe. This richly imagined epic fantasy chronicles the past 35,000-year battle between Satan’s Overlords and King Joshua’s loving, compassionate Angels.

“Look at all the problems on Earth – both past and present – I believe you can trace key historical figures to incarnated Gods and Angels who carry their battle from Heaven and the Celestial Worlds into our material realm,” Robinson said.

The first book, LILITH — Eden’s Planetary Princess, begins with Lord Smigyl traveling to Salvington to gain King Joshua’s approval for his Tower of Light. Smigyl stops by planet Eden where he makes a war-inducing decision. Meanwhile, on Oceania, vacation spot for Angels recovering from their latest incarnation into Eden, Earth’s sister planet, Theater Commander Colonel Josephine P. Doulmahel struggles with her new responsibilities, falls in love, and becomes the assassination target of her archival, Kuko Kiena.

Asked what he likens The Michael Archives to, he’d say, “If you merged Dune with Harry Potter, sprinkled in the Urantia Book, and asked Joseph Campbell to put his spin on it, you’d have The Michael Archives.”

It should be noted that LILITH and The Michael Archives are not for the faint of heart. If it were a movie, it would be rated “R” for language, sex, violence, and in some cases, over-the-top violence. However, there are equally good and virtuous parts as well.

Robinson is not certain whether The Michael Archives is just a great fiction story or divine revelation from the Creator. Part of him believes he’s the most recent incarnation of King Ayasia of Ninveth, the archivist for The Michael Archives, thus making him simply a scribe for Ayasia, first son of El Elyon, the Universal Father. Regardless, the story and characters are alive, addictive, and provocative.

Robinson is uniquely positioned to write about the war in Heaven as depicted in The Michael Archives. His early childhood had a profound experience on him as he bounced between three different religious experiences. “I was tossed between the Primitive Baptists in North Carolina, the Evangelicals in Idaho, and The Brethren in England. I listened to every word the preachers said and tried to find the truth. It seemed everything was jumbled and misunderstood by all the great religions. I became an ardent student of all religions, mythologies, philosophies, and cosmology.” That, coupled with his scientific background and mind make for great fantasy/science fiction reading.
