Eloise HamannEloise Hamann loves to imagine and longs to live in a world filled with justice and fun puzzles. Her passion for puzzles led to becoming a mathematician. Her passion for imagining and justice led her to become a writer and political activist after reiring from San Jose State University. As an academic, she wrote professional articles, contributed to newsletters, drafted memos on behalf of better education and university policies. One of her memos gave her the reputation of being the poet in the Mathematics Department. As a political activist, she penned flyers and brochures advocating for causes. As a volunteer for Child Protective Services, she wrote the short story, The Foster Princess. She recently published an e-version. She began her encounter with the publishing world by championing the work of her late award-winning poet son, Shannon and cried with joy when his collection of poetry, Deathdoubledactyl won publication by Pavement Saw Press. She independently published his novel, Brad Pitt Won't Leave Me Alone. Eloise describes her first novel, Inhabited, as Stephen King teams up with Garrison Keillor.
