kennethmarkhoover@sff.net BioKenneth Mark Hoover was born in deep Louisiana sugarcane country but grew up in South Texas. But even as a little boy he never wanted to do anything else but write. He has two degrees, one in journalism and a bachelors degree in science (physics and chemistry) education. After teaching high school science for seven years he made the decision to write full-time.
Mark has sold over thirty short stories and articles. His fiction has appeared in various print and online magazines such as Beneath Ceaseless Skies, Fantastic Stories, Strange Horizons, Challenging Destiny, Drops of Crimson, Three Crow Press and many others. His interviews with notable science fiction and fantasy writers can be found at Strange Horizon and his new story “Haxan” now appears in Beneath Ceaseless Skies.
His website http://kennethmarkhoover.com also has lots of information about his writing and the Haxan stories. So check it out!
In 2005 his first novel, Fevreblau, was published by Five Star Press. The novel sold out its first print run and received several good reviews. It also helped him get noticed by a few editors and publishers. He has just sold a story to Destination: Future, a new SF anthology. He is currently working on a series of stories about the mythical town of Haxan, New Mexico. He also meets another writer twice a week at a coffee shop where they write together, vent, and talk about publishing.
Mark’s main passions outside writing include chess, amateur astronomy, Shotokan karate and politics. He is an unabashed Yellow Dog Democrat and an opinionated bookworm who listens to everything from Tchaikovsky to Rob Zombie. He’s also a big opera fan. While he has worked as a surveyor, an educator and a salesman, his first love is, and always will be, writing.
Though he tries his best to attend one or two science fiction conventions a year, this sometimes doesn’t work out. But he is always happy to meet new writers and readers of all kinds of fiction. He lives and writes in Dallas, TX.
