Alaska Wilderness Author Robin Barefield
Alaska Wilderness Mystery Author Robin Barefield writes gripping Alaska mysteries set on Kodiak Island. Her latest novel, The Ultimate Hunt, was released in May 2024.
In December 2022, she released a collection of Alaska true-crime stories.
Robin and her husband live on the west side of Kodiak in Uyak Bay. They own a lodge and live year-round in the wilderness. Their neighbors include bears, foxes, eagles, seals, sea otters, sea lions, Sitka black-tailed deer, whales, and other wildlife.
The Kodiak Island Archipelago is a group of islands 30 miles (48 km) from the Alaska Peninsula and approximately 250 miles(402 km) southwest of Anchorage. Kodiak is the largest island in the group, and it is the second-largest island in the United States. It is approximately 100 miles (160 km) long and ranges from 10 to 60 miles (16 to 96 km) in width, the coastline creased by narrow fjord-like bays. Two-thirds of the island is part of the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge. Most of the human population is based in the town of Kodiak and in the six, small villages on the archipelago.
Join Robin on her blog, where she discusses the biology and behavior of the marine and land animals she sees every day. The wildlife of Kodiak Island is also the subject of one of her latest books.
As an Alaska wilderness author, Robin writes both fiction and nonfiction. In April 2021, Publication Consultants released her nonfiction book about the wildlife of Kodiak Island. The book details the biology and behavior of the land and marine mammals on and near Kodiak, and it contains beautiful photos by Robin’s husband, Mike Munsey.
