Libbie Grant, who also writes under the pen nam Olivia Hawker, writes Literary Fiction and Historical Fiction, and is a best-selling author. I recently read her newly published book "October in the Earth" in three days, because I loved it. We talk all about her career, how it started and how she developed her writing skills, the importance of writing poetry, self-motivating, rituals, getting published, self-publishing, planning characters and themes, writing historical fiction, and  some passages I highlighted from her book that I read aloud.
