LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, July 15, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As summer reading surges across the U.S. and Canada, acclaimed Canadian author Lydia M. Hawke is rising to the top of the reading lists with stories that are fresh, fierce, and impossible to put down.

“My series are cutting-edge by design. Not enough writers are telling stories from the perspective of strong, older female characters, and I want to help change that. Readers, especially younger generations, are craving something different. They want depth, diversity, and characters who break the mold. That’s exactly what I aim to deliver,” says Hawke.

According to recent industry reports, Gen Z is now one of the fastest-growing segments of book buyers, driven by a desire for original, immersive stories that reflect both modern identity and mythical transformation. And summer remains the peak season for reading, with publishers seeing as much as a 30% spike in book sales between June and August, especially in speculative fiction and romance, two of Hawke’s specialties. By placing a 60-year-old woman at the heart of a magical epic, Hawke redefines what it means to be a hero. Crone lit, a blend of "crone" and "literature," challenges ageist tropes and celebrates the power and transformation of mature female characters.

“Older women are not going quietly into the night. We are living life to its fullest. We’re bold, fearless, and ready for adventure. I want my books to be both an inspiration and a testament to the power of embracing new journeys at any age,” explains Hawke.

One reader raved, “If you’re a woman of a certain age, you won’t regret reading this book.”

Critics highlight Hawke’s unique blend of humor and vivid action. Blogger S.J. Higbee notes, “Hawke writes action vividly… I’ll never look at a garden gnome the same way again,” while others commend the series for redefining female heroism in fantasy with wit and heart.
