I grew up on the Scottish coast, studied Psychology, Biology and English Literature at the University of Glasgow, then worked with children with a variety of needs (ASD and/or EBD, mainly) throughout the UK. I married my best friend and we now live in Warrington in the north of England with our son Angus.
My first book, Wild, was recently published by Pure Slush and is available to buy at http://www.lulu.com/shop/gill-hoffs/wild/paperback/product-20190137.html. It’s a collection of fiction and nonfiction and contains a foreword by bestselling author Jeremy Scott. Go to http://pureslush.webs.com/atasteofwild.htm for a taster.
I’m currently consuming my own bodyweight in Nutella while writing The Sinking of RMS Tayleur: the True Story of the Victorian Titanic for Pen & Sword, due out January 2014. Follow me on twitter – @GillHoffs – for snippets of research and other oddities, and snippets of domestic life.
As co-editor of Spilling Ink Review http://spillinginkreview.com/2012/05/10/welcome-gill-hoff/ I had the privilege of reading new writing first and I LOVED it.
I can’t imagine a more perfect career than that of the writer – and I have QUITE an imagination (just try some of the Carnage Conservatory pieces!). Especially since I have a little boy who I want to be around every minute of every day. Even when he’s blowing raspberries in restaurants and asking if spiders have tongues and scooters have gallbladders.
So… here is my WordPress site, and if you would like to get in touch, please do email me at scottishredridinghood@hotmail.com. I’d love to hear from you.
