Maureen O'Neill Hooker
Maureen O'Neill Hooker experienced an early love of reading that led to a desire to write, which remained unexpressed for more than forty years. After a fulfilling life of marriage, children, grandchildren, and work she went back to school. She is a recent MFA graduate from Wilkes University, where she became interested in Norman Mailer. She is currently living her dream and for the past three years she has been writing her first novel.
