That was her name when she wrote that one brilliant jewel of a book, before she wrote a number of other things so bad that she had to change her name to Robin Hobb in order to get published, because her reputation under her own name had gotten so bad by then. I'm told the Robin Hobb books aren't bad... but Wizard remains one of my favorite fantasy novels of all time. (Also, speaking as someone who now lives in Seattle, where it is set, she nailed the character of the city absolute dead perfect.)
