About the author

G’day, I’m Lisa Hoffman.

I am an author devoted to reclaiming the Divine Feminine and guiding women back to their inner power, wisdom, and sacred remembrance. Writing under both my name and my pen name, Sofia Hator, I channel books that explore goddess mythology, shadow work, feminine embodiment, and the priestess path. My work weaves ancient archetypes, divine feminine transmissions, and modern spirituality to support women on their journey of awakening and self-sovereignty.

Alongside my spiritual writing, I am also a children’s author with a passion for making science magical. As an experienced early-years educator, I create modern science-meets-adventure stories that make concepts like chromatography, static electricity, and centrifugal force fun, accessible, and exciting for young readers. My mission is to nurture curiosity, imagination, and a love of learning through storytelling.

Whether writing for the awakened woman or the curious child, my intention is the same: to inspire, empower, and ignite the spark of possibility.

Educational Sci-fi

I am so excited every time I find fun educational books. I learned a ton about electricity from this book, and I can’t wait to share it with my kids. There are not many authors who can pull off educating and entertaining at once, but this one has certainly nailed it.

[Julie Juhl · Rating 5 out of 5]

Kid Scientist Static Electricity & Portals by Lisa Hoffman is a great book for kids, but also for adults too. My son and I enjoyed reading it together and we both learned some new science stuff. I know that I enjoyed the quality time with my son and will be looking for more books from the author.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I won this book on a Goodreads giveaway.

The book's premise is good and the story is good but it feels forced in places.
There are some things that are not explained in the book so the ending feels abrupt: such as the time the trip felt like it took vs. the time it actually took.
