Lorraine Jean Hopping grew up in a small town in Michigan, went to a small college in Michigan (Kalamazoo College), and then began to dream big. At the age of 21, she moved to New York City to launch a career in publishing as a writer and editor.
Her mantra is "If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always gotten." In other words, Lorraine thrives on the new, the different, the unknowns in life.
A combination of curiosity and fear of boredom have led her into the worlds of magazines, books, radio, software, board games, toys, websites, and . . . what next? She has enthusiastically tackled an ever-expanding range of topics with special passions for languages, international cultures, science, math, and technology.
Today, Lorraine still dreams big as she creates out of a cozy home office in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Learn more about her and her game development company--Hopping Fun Creations--at lorrainejeanhopping.com.
