J. Dennis Robinson is the author of 16 entertaining books about American history and now an exciting New England "history mystery," POINT OF GRAVES. Plus, with illustrator Robert Squier the author presents PORTSMOUTH TIME MACHINE, a graphic history of New Hampshire's only seaport for kids of all ages. He lives and writes in Portsmouth, NH, just across the swirling Piscataqua River from Maine. A popular and sometimes irreverent columnist and lecturer, his most recent illustrated hardcover is MUSIC HALL: How a City Built a Theater and a Theater Shaped a City. Voted best history book of 2020 by the Independent Book Publishers Association, MUSIC HALL tracks the 400 -year evolution of the performing arts in New Hampshire's only seaport and the roller coaster life of a landmark 1878 theater. His previous book, MYSTERY ON THE ISLES OF SHOALS, closes the widely misunderstood case of the infamous 1873 ax murders on Smuttynose Island. Yankee Magazine editor Judson Hale called it "a superb piece of work" and Library Journal says "recommended for all true crime collections." His other page-turning history books focus on privateering, outlaw Jesse James, Strawbery Banke Museum, Isles of Shoals archaeology, Wentworth by the Sea hotel, Lord Baltimore, child labor exploitation, and more.
