George Clive Hook II

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

George Hook was born in Chicago. His education includes Junior Hall, Budlong Elementary School, and Junior Military Academy in Chicago, the Missouri Military Academy, in Mexico, Missouri, Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois, where he majored in English Composition and Political Science, the University of Chicago Law School, the Armor Officer School at Fort Knox, Kentucky, and the Judge Advocate General's School in Charlottesville, Virginia. He served three years in the US Army Judge Advocate General's Corps after graduation from law school, including a tour in Viet Nam. Thereafter, he returned to Chicago and practiced law. In high school, college and throughout his career, he has written short stories and poetry. Several of his short stories were published in the "Siwasher," now renamed "Catch" in obeisance to political correctness. Vowing to eschew finalization of his literary works until he was of such an age as to have experienced life to the full, he began that process to culminate in publication upon his retirement from professional life. Currently, he is broadening his horizon to book length works of fiction and non-fiction.
