Hill

by Julian M. Miles

The ancients tore Blaecken down, killed the tribe, burnt the lore, and destroyed the settlement. 600 years after that, the king had Blackdean purged from the records, killed the villagers, burned the village, and salted the fields.
923 years later, a company thinks it can profit from what lies under Brackden Mire. They’ve found out why it should remain shunned - but have decided otherwise.
D.I. Dan Higgin is getting back to being a police officer who deals with mundane things. Until a hunted man knocks on his door, and tells him of a strange girl, a flash drive, and the truth about a place called Blaecken Hill.

About the author

Julian grew up in Sussex, UK. A broken home in his early teens took him off the ‘straight and narrow’, and he’s never gone back. In the subsequent five decades he’s worked at levels from loading bay to boardroom, and picked up a few stories along the way.

His first loves were fantasy and magic; the blending of ancient and futuristic. He started writing at school, extended into writing role-playing game scenarios, and thence into bardic storytelling.

In 2011 he published his first books, in 2012 he released more (along with probably the smallest role-playing system in the world). Since then, he's published over 50 titles and has more than 30 books in progress.

He'd be delighted if you'd care to join him for a tale or two.
