Hopkins lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico where he retired in 2002 after a 30-year career as a fire captain to write novels and screenplays.
Navassa is his first full-length novel. The Fourth Corner of the Ninth Room, his second, was released in October of 1999 by Russell Dean & Company. The short-run first printing (2200 copies) sold out in seventeen days from the date of its release. His third novel, Shadows in the Grass, is under construction.
He has written several articles and short stories published since 1985. He attended California Polytechnic State University School of Architecture and Environmental Design, and minored in psychology. In his early college and pre-college days, he worked variously as a parking lot attendant, a cowboy, a mule packer and fishing guide, a fork-lift operator, a veterinary assistant, a flight line refueler, a commercial fisherman, a crab butcher, a security guard at a nuclear power plant, and a coordinator of a crisis intervention hotline.
Hopkins conducts occasional workshops at Cuesta Writers Conference, Pike's Peak Writers Conference, and the Northwest Redwoods Writers Conference. He works with Georgia Writers Association and other writers associations to help new authors break into print.
...once I picked up Navassa and began to read, I was hooked! This story is a wild ride, and, man!, the writing is hypnotic!...I m a new fan. --John Weaver, PageOne Literary Newsletter
