At Oconomowoc High School, she would fall in love……with the written word and after graduating, Miss Hoff immediately began her writing career; Science Fiction being the unlikely genre of choice. Her studies in English and Meteorology at UW-Milwaukee are mere window dressing to the greater passion of fashioning phrases; original ways to arrange the English language.
A Trekkie (Star Trek NBC Television 1967-1969) to the core, Gwen would go on to complete three Sci Fi novels. All three are out of print and in the opinion of the author, ancient history, especially after reading & understanding The Holy Bible.
She has 3 wonderful sons, a solid group of quality friends.
To this very day, Gwendolyn Hoff still loves Science Fiction, cries at the opening of every STAR TREK movie and looks at the stars with a unique eye to the sky.
That brings us to the year 1994. In that year, she would meet the Granddaughter of the subject doctor of THE LIFE AND TIMES OF A BLACK SOUTHERN DOCTOR. She entered into a partnership for the purpose of bringing the story of Alpha Omega Campbell to light. With informational trips to book’s setting of Tallahassee FL and the treasure trove of history, Washington DC in her bag of tricks, this book took form.
During the intervening 12+ years, the life & times of a fine southern physician and gentleman would be lovingly crafted into words; some fact, some fiction.view less
