Born in 1951,
Yorkshireman Brian R Hill was educated at
Aireborough Grammar School in Yeadon near Leeds. He has
a grown up family and three grandchildren. Brian lives close to the beautiful
Yorkshire Dales National Park. A keen amateur
photographer, musician and composer, Brian derives much
of his inspiration from the beautiful countryside of the
region. A stroll through The Dales can provide Brian
with a chapter full of ideas, although the areas he
includes are often heavily disguised by the time the
final draft is complete - Yorkshire, for example, is not
famous for its volcanoes.
Before retiring, Brian worked
in Clothing, Retail and Lighting industries. He now
divides as much of his time between writing, walking,
photography and music as he can. Brian has published
three magic/ fantasy novels - 'The Shintae', published in 2007,
with a 2nd edition released in 2017, 'Shadows
from a Time Long Past' in 2011 and 'The Mastig',
in 2017. In
2016, Brian published a post-Brexit contemporary
thriller, 'Love, Lies and Treachery', set in his home
county of Yorkshire, England.
