edit data

Gene Hilgreen lives in Lindenhurst, NY. He spent thirty plus years in Information Technology and ITGC security audit. As an ex-gymnast and freestyle skier, he lived on the edge with a devil-may-care attitude. And so does his writing.
Gene is never one to hold back his thoughts. As the old adage goes—a drunk man’s words, are a sober man’s thoughts. With that said. He writes his peace.
His editor once asked. “Gene, who might be your intended reading audience?” He replied. “The eighty million plus proud Americans, who voted for freedom and the America way.”

She never asked again—she knows his audience.

He always starts his novels by thanking the two defining forces that have offered to die for him—Jesus Christ and the American soldier. One died Gene Hilgreen lives in Lindenhurst, NY.

She never asked again—she knows his audience.

He always starts his novels by thanking the two defining forces that have offered to die for him—Jesus Christ and the American soldier. One died for his soul; the other died for his freedom—don’t ever forget that!

His affinity for Physics and Spacetime, and the thought of creating a young female protagonist was always planted somewhere in the Limbic System of his brain. As a long time Cornwell fan—he was enamored with Kate Scarpetta, and when Lucy Farinelli was introduced—he just wanted more. Cornwell thought she created a monster—he begged to differ—he loved Lucy, and wanted his own.
He wanted a character that was intelligent, athletic, packed an attitude, and had enough faults to make her interesting to the YA arena and adults. One look into his granddaughter’s inquiring face sealed the deal. He created Jules Spenser—a prodigy child—who wanted nothing more than to follow in Grandpa Buck’s footsteps.
First of Jules, Second Chances, and Dragon at 1600—the third novel in the Jules Spenser series, are all are available on Amazon.

The Fourth Dimension—Jules’ fourth novel, will push the fringes of science and math. In physics, spacetime is any mathematical model that fuses the three dimensions of space and the one dimension of time into a single four-dimensional continuum. And you will all learn—that time is the only true unit of measure. It gives proof to the existence of matter. Without time, we do not exist.
