Dolores Hitchens was an American published author of fiction. Born in San Antonio, Texas in 1907, Hitchens would rise to become a popular author of mystery and thriller novels. She was not born with her name name but was born with the full name of Julia Clara Catharine Dolores Birk Olsen Hitchens. She would change the name to Dolores Hitchens, much less of a mouthful to say, when she began writing her mystery novels. Hitchens was born to her mother Myrtle Statham and her father W.H. Robbins. The two had been married in 1901 in Caldwell County, Texas. Dolores went by the name of Julia C. Robbins back then, and in 1910 was believed to be living with her mother. Her mother was thought to be widowed now and with the loss of W.H. the family were forced to be taken in by family. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Jim Sader Mystery Books series, Dolores Hitchens has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
