Tinka Ellington-Hooper

Tinka Ellington-Hooper was born and raised in Northern Germany. In her search for white sand and warm sunshine, she found her true home in Southern Florida, where she lives with her family and their big brown dog. When she isn't working on her books, she loves to spend time outdoors, going boating, biking or swimming with friends and family. After many years of little faces peaking over her mattress in the middle of the night, she now really appreciates a good night s sleep...at least every now and then. Hazel was inspired by the author s daughter and two stepsons. Her three monkeys teach her every day what life is all about, love and learning- and they certainly create ideas for many more Hazel Bedazzled stories to come. So stay tuned......
