Bio - Gwendolyn Hooks


 

My dad was in the Air Force and my family moved whenever he was transfered to a new base. I lived in Georgia, Texas, Washington, and Italy. I still love to travel. I've visited Canada, England, Belgium, Bahamas, and Mexico. I'm always ready for another trip.


These trips are not just fun times. I'm constantly thinking about ideas for new books. You never know when an idea will jump out. Some of my ideas come from my three grown-up kids, my husband, or our pet cat.


I love writing for children and you can always find me working on one project or another. 


In The Works



Lexie McNair: Bubble Gum Detective, a chapter book about third-grader Lexie who chews bubble gum to help her solve mysteries in her neighborhood.



Just Finished!


Look for my four new easy readers from Stone Arch Books Fall 2010. They are fun and adventurous!


 



WHAT I LOVE . . .

 

I love seafood. Any kind. Shrimp, crab, scallops, and best of all - stripper from Lake Texoma.

I love READING! Anything. Fiction. Nonfiction.
Cereal boxes. Phone directories.
All the exhibit tags at museums and art galleries.

Highway markers - but they can be dangerous. SHWOOOSH!

I love camping in tents or cabins. I love hiking.
I just love being outdoors.
