R. L. S. Hoff writes young adult science fiction and fantasy with strange worlds, stranger creatures, bits of romance......and princesses, of course.She lives in a multi-cultural household where she sometimes has to remind one child that he must learn English because it's important for life in the US-and the other children that they must learn Mandarin because it is and always will be their brother's native language.R. L. S. Hoff and her family live in a just-big-enough house with a messy yard in view of the Rocky Mountains. They keep planning to hike in the hills on weekends but often get no farther than the park across the street.When not writing or working at (so far) more profitable gigs, R. L. S. Hoff enjoys reading, gardening, and baking bread.pencilprincessworkshop.com
