Wynette Hoffman
W.A. Hoffman is the author of the historical buccaneer series Raised By Wolves. The four RBW volumes--Brethren, Matelots, Treasure, and Wolves--have made fans worldwide of both men and women. A rebel with a cause, Hoffman likes to write rousing and philosophical tales about true love, gender politics, heresy, treason, alternative family values, sex, the occult, and other things that go bump in the collective unconscious--in any genre. Her next projects will run the gamut from science fiction to contemporary literature. Originally an artist who studied to work in film, Hoffman dabbles in a wide variety of artistic media: producing book covers, web graphics, and illustrations. Fiercely committed to independent publishing and creative freedom for artists, Hoffman founded her own publishing company, Alien Perspective, in 2002.
