Author William 'Bill' Hill Visits Leisure Hour Club
On Wednesday, April 19, the excitement of storytelling will be evident when local author William ‘Bill' Hill shares his craft and stories with members of the Carson City Leisure Hour Club.
William Hill is a naturalized northern Nevadan, a native of Indianapolis, Indiana and a product of many places and stories. Bill has lived in numerous locales, including Prairie Village, KS, Bristol, TN, Dallas and Denton, TX, and in south and north Lake Tahoe, NV. Currently he creates from the foothills of the eastern Sierra.
Bill first learned to read through superhero comic books, then spy-thrillers, Sci-Fi, and finally fantasy novels, tucked in among the required classic readings. He has earned a 'serious degree' from Vanderbilt University in Economics and Business Management and a MBA from the University of North Texas, as well as certifications in Outdoor Emergency Care. Realizing that writing was his best talent and a gift, Bill escaped the restrictive drudgery of the corporate world to craft his tales.
Along with working in Human Resources, Bill has been employed as an 'alchemist' in South Lake Tahoe, a ski patroller at Diamond Peak in Incline Village, NV and a sports official in Douglas County. He enjoys giving writer workshops. Some of his books include California Ghosting, Vegas Vampires, The Magic Bicycle, Chasing Time, and published in 2012, Prey of the Spirit Bear, Bill's 12th book in print.
Bill, his wife Kat, and their son, Brin, live in the shadow of the eastern Sierra and on the high desert of the south Carson Valley. Bill intends to write imaginative fiction and fantasy until dirt is shoveled upon his coffin.
If you would like to attend this event, please call the Club’s reservation chair at (775) 400-2647 no later than Thursday, April 13 to make your reservation.
