Writing Career
Robins realized her income from acting was not stable enough to carry her. An able writer, she turned to the pen, publishing a number of well-received novels at first under the pseudonym C. E. Raimond. She explained her use of a pseudonym as a means of keeping her acting and writing careers separate but gave it up when the media reported that Robins and Raimond were the same. She enjoyed a long career as a fiction and nonfiction writer. She retired from the stage at the age of 40.
