His real name was Robin Estridge, but he mostly published novels under the name of Robin York and Philip Loraine. Today, he has been somewhat forgotten by many readers as well as collectors of crime fiction. Sea Change (1982) is one of his best-known novels.

An introductory note to And to My Beloved Husband written under the pseudonym Philip Loraine (Ace Books, N.Y., year of publication missing, originally published by M.S. Mill Co, 1950) provides the following information about the author:

Loraine has also been a sailor in the Royal Navy, a theatrical designer, a dishwasher in Paris, a journalist, and a tubercular patient. Besides five years in the United States, he also resided in Corsica, Italy, Yugoslavia, Spain and, as seldom as possible, his native England. He liked writing, peace and quiet, sunshine, and new places. He disliked bad food, bad manners, people who think of themselves as intellectual, bigotry, politics, and politicians.

Estridge died on 24 October 2002 in Astoria, Oregon.
