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.

Brian has just had his first novel - The Shintae - published. An adventure/fantasy story.

"...As a first book, Brian R. Hill has a hit on his hands. I found it to be an easy read, yet one I had trouble putting down. The action begins in the first two pages and is non-stop right to the end of the book. I look forward to seeing more by this author."
