Robbi McCoy is a native Californian whose list of publications includes poems, short stories, magazine and newspaper articles. She has worked as a reporter for Lodi Life and Times Magazine and as a contributing editor to PC Hands On. She is the creator of several story-based computer games, such as Alice in Wonderland, which can now be considered "vintage," or maybe just "old."
