HOFFMAN, Lee

HOFFMAN, Lee
   Working name of US sf fan and writer Shirley Bell Hoffman (1932-); she was married for a time to Larry T. SHAW. LH is probably better known for her Westerns than for her sf, which she began publishing with a short novel, Telepower (1967 chap), following it with The Caves of Karst (1969), Always the Black Knight (1970) and Change Song (1972). The last-named is,typically of her work, a polished, unpretentious adventure in which a juvenile protagonist on an unspecified planet, similar to but probably not Earth, succeeds in acquiring self-knowledge along with adult power. In andOut of Quandry (coll 1982 chap dos) is a short collection of essays and tales, mostly humorous (QUANDRY).
