Biin published short stories from 1966 and published his first novel in 1979. This educational novel of a post-war childhood was cautiously criticized by Mati Unt as being too “phallocentric” in places, but ultimately welcomed as definitely worth reading. Nevertheless, there was a long break, and the author's next books did not appear until the 1990s.

Although the criticism was harsh in places and accused the author of a lack of sense of style and language or even spoke of "monotonous and worn content", Biin continued to write and increased his pace. In the 21st century, one new novel by him appeared on average every year, whereby the author “[can] fire with many weapons and from many positions. He has written crime novels, romance novels, and science fiction for the past decade. (...) [His books] are all fluent to read and dynamic. Many, however, are at the limit where conscious entertainment literature could stop and something else could begin. ”From this point of view, his position in contemporary Estonian literature can be compared to that of Raimond Kaugver in the 1980s.
