Lynn Hoffman (author)

Lynn Hoffman (author)

Philadelphia novelist Lynn Hoffman was born in Brooklyn. Before writing his first novel, "The Bachelor's Cat" (1997) he was a merchant seaman, a chef and a college teacher.

His most recent novel, "bang BANG" is a story of a Philadelphia woman who is the victim of a gun crime. She finds out that her grief-stricken words, taken out of context, are being used by a creepy senator and gun industry stooges. Finding herself the unwitting proponent of a political stance she abhors, Paula embarks on a decidedly offbeat one-woman vigilante crusade to bring the gun trade to its knees, a crusade that involves an air pistol, sex and a most unusual use of Sauternes.

BookList called "bang BANG" "Brilliant" Amazon top critic Grady Harp called it ", a book so well conceived and stylishly written that it places Hoffman in the realm of top American writers."

Hoffman's other writings are about food and wine and he is the author of "The New Short Course in Wine" a textbook for college students.
