Libbie Hawker was the first pen name used by this author. She began writing under the name in the late 2000s and continued through the end of the 2010s. Although she no longer writes as Libbie Hawker, her older books are still available for readers to enjoy. The Libbie Hawker books are all in the genre of historical fiction and offer a lighter tone with more focus on action and plot than her more "literary" work as Olivia Hawker.
