Richard N. Hill

Born on Christmas Day in 1952, Rich Hill grew up in Sault Ste. Marie in Michigan's Eastern Upper Peninsula. He lives along the southeastern shores of Lake Superior with his wife and a cocker spaniel named Maxwell. In his free time, he works on his log house, jams with fellow musicians (drums), reads, shovels snow, and plays tennis. Over the years, Rich has worked at a variety of unusual jobs from apple picker, balloon salesman, house painter, and custom furniture finisher to deckhand on various Great Lakes freighters. Along with his wife, he has owned and managed various retail stores from a gift shop to an art gallery and ready-to-finish furniture store. He loves nothing better than telling a good story. Which is where his love for writing began.
