About Rich Hawkins

Rich Hawkins is a horror fiction author that is best known as the author of the “Last” series of novels. Even though he is a horror fiction author, he has an unexplained fear of large crowds of people and sharks. He is a native of the South West of England and was born in a small backwater village in the wilds. He now makes his home in Salisbury alongside his wife and their dog. Hawkins has said that ever since he was a child, he was fascinated by monsters and horror and would usually creep downstairs to go watch “The Thing” by John Carpenter while his parents slept. She has always had an affinity with the strange and weird and still spends an inordinate amount of time daydreaming about awful things such as tentacle abominations. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of The Last Plague Books series, Rich Hawkins 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.
