BIOGRAPHY
A veteran award winning author of thrilling young adult and middle grade adventures, Tom Hoffman received a B.S. in psychology from Georgetown University and a B.A. from the now-defunct Oregon College of Art. He has lived in Alaska with his wife Alexis since 1973. They have two adult children and three adorable grandchildren. Tom was a graphic designer and artist for over 35 years. Redirecting his imagination from art to writing, he wrote his first novel, The Eleventh Ring, at age 63. He recently completed his latest novel, The Ghost Ring. The Translucent Boy and the Girl Who Saw Him was a semi-finalist in the 2020 BookLife Prize Award (Publishers Weekly)

Hoffman's books provide an alternate way to view the world we live in. To see magic as science we don't understand, to see all life as a single force, all equally precious, no matter the form. A world where violence is not necessary, a world where the protagonists are changed forever by their difficult choices, by their own sacrifices. A world of empathy, kindness, and love. And of course, ten foot tall ancient robotic rabbits and gigantic carnivorous centipedes living on post apocalyptic planets!

"The hair-raising situations his heroes find themselves in on different planes of existence are among the most imaginative I have read in contemporary literature." –Rea Nolan Martin, author Mystic Tea, Sunnyside Up, The Anesthesia Game, et al.

"An epic that hits all the perfect notes of science, magic, and sweetness."
-Kirkus Review of The Eleventh Ring

"An endlessly stimulating sequel that caters to intellectually fearless readers."
-Kirkus Review of The Thirteenth Monk
