'Robin Hobb' is the second pen name of novelist 'Margaret Astrid Lindholm Ogden' (born 1952 in California) who produces primarily fantasy fiction, although she has published some science fiction.
From 1983–1992 she wrote exclusively under the pseudonym 'Megan Lindholm'. Fiction under the Megan Lindholm pseudonym tends to be contemporary fantasy. In 1995, she began use of a second pseudonym, Robin Hobb for works of epic traditional fantasy. She currently publishes under both names. The author's work is distinguished by its well-nuanced characters and credible plotting. She currently lives in Tacoma, Washington.
She is well known in the fan fiction community for being one of the authors most opposed to the writing of fan fiction, saying that it "is one topic that can make my eyes spin round like pinwheels and steam come out of my ears."

The Realm of the Elderlings

The Farseer Trilogy

=
The Farseer Trilogy follows the life of FitzChivalry Farseer (Fitz), a royal bastard and trained assassin, in a kingdom called The Six Duchies while his uncle, Prince Verity, attempts to wage war on the Red-Ship Raiders from The OutIslands who are attacking the shores of the kingdom.

★ ''Assassin's Apprentice'' (1995)

★ ''Royal Assassin'' (1996)

★ ''Assassin's Quest'' (1997)

The Liveship Traders Trilogy

The Liveship Traders Trilogy mainly takes place southwest of The Six Duchies in Bingtown (a colony of Jamaillia) and focuses on Liveships (sentient ships). The trilogy is unusually nautical — an area seldom covered in fantasy - with the germ of it being apparently the idea of portraying ships whose figureheads are literally alive and sentient. While this trilogy does not follow FitzChivalry Farseer's life, it is linked to both the Farseer and Tawny Man trilogies through The Fool and other events.
