About the author

William Hill is a native of Indianapolis, Indiana, and first learned to read through comic books and adventure and science fiction novels.

Since realizing that the corporate world stifled creative thought and discouraged personal imagination, Bill has been employed as an alchemist in South Lake Tahoe and an EMT/Ski Patroller at a North Lake Tahoe resort.

Although his first writing love is magic-oriented fantasy, Hill's first and second novels - Dawn of the Vampire and Vampire's Kiss - were supernatural thrillers published by Pinnacle. The Magic Bicycle and California Ghosting were published by Otter Creek Press.

Bill and his lovely wife, Kat, and their son, Brin, currently reside in the beautiful Carson Valley of Nevada. Bill intends to write imaginative fiction and fantasy until dirt is shoveled upon his coffin. (And friends have joked, beyond, to the supernatural author state.)

Reviews

[Don · Rating 2 out of 5]

You know how with some authors you establish a rapport? Their writing style matches your reading rhythm? Well, this certainly was not one of those experiences. The first 2/3 of this novel were excruciating for me to trudge through. I'm not saying the story is subpar or the writing is bad; neither of those is the case. I just didn't click with the style or my rhythm wasn't supported in the sentences. Things finally picked up, and the big confrontation was a winner... except for the ending, which I hated with a passion.
