Jilanne Hoffmann

Jilanne Hoffmann has been a zoo train engineer, a waitress, a “real” engineer, a fitness trainer, a tai chi instructor, a freelance writer, and now writes fiction and nonfiction for kids and adults. The dust in her shoes comes from every continent, except the icy one that's drier than the Sahara. She has a degree in engineering and an MFA in Creative Writing, and as a perpetual student, starts many sentences with the words WHAT, WHY, and HOW. Jilanne lives in the Bay Area with her husband, son, and rescue dog named Wrigley.
