Biography
Stuart Hill worked at a car factory for 6 years before going back to college to get his teaching degree. After teaching for several years, his life led him to create books that would have an impact in the twenty-first century. Stuart began writing the Icemark series and when his book was accepted for publication by Chicken House, he dedicated his time to writing the rest of the series. In 2005, The Cry of the Icemark, the first book in the series, was published and copyrighted.
His love of words came when he was only seven years old. Stuart saw and began to play with words because they gave him an interest that others might have considered insane. Stuart, who is a keen reader of ghost stories and an avid fan of M. R. James, an Edwardian master of the genre, has written several collections of his own. Stuart Hill is also an artist, who sells his work at art fairs in Leicester and the surrounding areas in England.
On 25 July 2011, Stuart released a new book on Kindle. Tales From Moonshiny Hall, a collection of ghost stories, was published under the name S. R. Hill.
Stuart has written a new book called "Sorceress" about post-Roman Britain and the struggle between the indigenous Celts and the invading Germanic tribes (Anglo-Saxons). It will be an Arthurian tale with a twist. Merlin and Arthur will not be portrayed as the good guys but as baddies.
He is also working on a self-publishing project called "Black Dog".
Stuart Hill will also return to the world of the Icemark, to tell how Redrought came to power in the prequel to be titled "Prince Of The Icemark".

Famous quotes containing the word biography:
“A biography is like a handshake down the years, that can become an arm-wrestle.”
—Richard Holmes (b. 1945)
“Just how difficult it is to write biography can be reckoned by anybody who sits down and considers just how many people know the real truth about his or her love affairs.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
“As we approached the log house,... the projecting ends of the logs lapping over each other irregularly several feet at the corners gave it a very rich and picturesque look, far removed from the meanness of weather-boards. It was a very spacious, low building, about eighty feet long, with many large apartments ... a style of architecture not described by Vitruvius, I suspect, though possibly hinted at in the biography of Orpheus.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
