Al Hooper's published fiction includes the Adam Cole novel Flynn's Last Stand, which projects screen legend Errol Flynn's final days against a backdrop of extortion and murder; Martial Law in Yakima, a crime thriller with a martial arts theme, and Hidden Valley, a dinosaur-centric suspense tale for readers aged 10 to 90. Hooper lives in Seattle, Washington, because of the overcast skies. "They're easy on the eyes and good for writing," he says. His website is E-HOOPER.
