Lydia M. Hawke, Award-Winning Author, Gives Voice to Women Writing Themselves as Heroes: Reclaiming the Story

Lydia M. Hawke

Through her fiction, Lydia M. Hawke empowers women to rewrite their own narratives and inspires readers to do the same.

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, August 18, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In an era where women’s voices are more vital than ever, author Lydia M. Hawke, creator of the Crone Wars and The Obsidian Sisterhood, is part of a bold literary movement that places older women not on the sidelines, but squarely at the center of their own stories. Her work exemplifies a growing trend among seasoned female authors: using fiction to reclaim agency, rewrite personal history, and inspire readers to embrace the role of hero in their own lives.

“Stories shape how we see ourselves,” says Hawke. “Too many times, women hit a certain age and they are told to fade into the background. That is a tradition I aim to end. When women write themselves as the main characters, they’re doing more than telling a tale; they’re rewriting the way the world sees them, and the way they see themselves."

Through complex, authentic characters and fearless storytelling, Hawke’s novels go beyond entertainment. They challenge outdated archetypes, reclaim personal power, and encourage readers to carry that courage off the page into real life.

According to sources, women over 60 are redefining what it means to start over, embracing new careers, entrepreneurship, and personal reinvention with remarkable resilience. In April 2023, women aged 60 and older comprised 10.6% of the U.S. labor force, up from 6.9% two decades earlier. Additionally, individuals aged 55–64 accounted for nearly 23% of new entrepreneurs in 2021. From launching businesses to pursuing creative passions, these women are proving that it’s never too late to pursue purpose, independence, and success.

“My books celebrate women’s resilience with supernatural adventures that never sideline their heroines. I love building worlds filled with flawed, determined, and triumphant women who take control of their own destinies,” says Hawke.

Hawke’s bestselling Crone Wars series and her Obsidian Sisterhood trilogy invite readers to witness the transformation of women who refuse to be defined by circumstance, proving that fiction can be both a mirror and a map, a reflection of personal truth and a guide toward empowerment.

Readers Rave

"I am loving these books by Lydia M Hawke. Can’t wait to read book 3. Excellent, exciting, mesmerising, great reading."

"It's so refreshing to read a book that involves a 60 year old who is the hero and just discovering her strength and resilience when she is [thrown] into hot water."
