John Twelve Hawks

John Twelve Hawks is an American author who is best known for his Fourth Realm Trilogy. However, he is known by that name only as a pen name, which he uses to maintain his privacy and to make a statement against the unauthorized tracking and monitoring of people's lives. Very little is known about the author's real identity, and he prefers to keep it that way. He communicates with his editor and the outside world using the internet and an untraceable phone, and has never met his editor in person.

Twelve Hawks is the author of the novel "The Traveler" and its sequels, "The Dark River" and "The Golden City," which together make up the Fourth Realm Trilogy. The series has been translated into 25 languages and has sold more than 1.5 million copies worldwide. The trilogy was followed five years later by a fourth book, "Spark," and a non-fiction eBook, "Against Authority." Twelve Hawks has a significant following of readers who are interested in his work and his unique perspective on privacy and individuality.

Despite his desire for privacy, Twelve Hawks does maintain a connection with his readers through his website and his verified author Facebook page. He occasionally shares photographs and descriptions of his current life on these platforms, and he has been known to respond to comments from his readers. However, he remains committed to protecting his privacy and maintaining his anonymity, even as he continues to write and publish books that resonate with readers around the world.
