Kenneth Mark Hoover was born in New Iberia, Louisiana. As a young boy living in the Deep South he was interested in rocketry, the space program, and writing stories so his imagination could have free reign. He has two degrees, one in journalism along with a bachelor’s degree in science (physics and chemistry) education. His outside passions include chess, amateur astronomy and shotokan karate. While he has at times worked as a surveyor, an educator, and a salesman, his first love is writing. He currently lives in Mississippi with his beautiful wife, Sarah, and his three fantastic children, Andrew, Matthew and Patrick.

**********************
Hoover, Kenneth Mark. Fevreblau. Five Star: Gale. Dec. 2005. c.290p. ISBN 1-59414-361-7. $25.95. SF
After calibrating a signal reception device known as Project Star Whisper on the lunar surface, Nikolai Sholokhov receives a trip to Moscow that includes a rare visit with women "sheltered" in Union House. When one of the women escapes and begs Nikolai to take her away from Earth, he flees with her to one of the orbiting habitats of the Archipelago, where he finds himself in the middle of a vast revolution set upon changing the world. Set in a future in which most women have perished in a gender-specific pandemic, leaving the surviving females either protected or exploited, Hoover's first novel combines space adventure with social commentary in a fast-moving story that is suitable for large sf collections.
