This site is a collection of writings and musings by Seattle writer Al Hooper.
A veteran newspaperman, Hooper holds black belts in two martial arts disciplines: Shudokan Karate (promoted by Morris Mack) and Chinese Kenpo (promoted by Al Tracy). Informed readers applaud the authenticity of the martial arts background in Martial Law in Yakima. But the author says the general reader is the target audience for his mystery thrillers.
He now works from home to allow more time for his fiction writing. He also operates a freelance service as a writer and editor. Inquiries about his services may be addressed to al.hooper@comcast.net.
Hooper has written one previous B.J. Reynolds novel, Martial Law In L.A., and two books for young readers. His wife June is a public health nurse and his three grown children are "married and normal – that is, they're not writers."
