Biography      

A novel by Brian R Hill

    Genre: Adventure / Fantasy  ISBN: 1-4137-8324-4

 

     A Yorkshireman, Brian R Hill was born in 1951 and educated at Aireborough Grammar School in Yeadon near Leeds. He has a grown up family and three young grandchildren. Brian lives close to the beautiful Yorkshire Dales National Park. A keen amateur photographer, musician - leader of a local orchestra - and composer Brian derives much of his inspiration from the beautiful countryside of the region. 

   After walking his dog through Spring Woods one sunny Saturday afternoon, many years ago, Brian returned home to discover a typewriter, temporarily abandoned, resting forlornly on a coffee table. A blank sheet of paper was already in place and, sitting down, Brian typed in the immortal words 'Chapter I', and thus the tale was conceived.

   Working with the old typewriter, now relegated to a desk inside a walk in cupboard over a staircase, the story began to take shape. Over a number of years with frequent and often very lengthy interruptions due to family and work commitments, transferring the manuscript to word processing and much re-writing, The Shintae has finally been completed.

   Brian has started work on a second novel which, he sincerely hopes, will be finished in what will prove to be a much shorter period of time.

  

The Shintae is Brian's first novel.
