Barbara E. Hill
Barbara is a professor of English at Avila University and holds an MA in Creative Writing from the University of Kansas. In addition to studying under the direct mentorship of James Gunn, SFWA’s 24th Grand Master, she minored in the study of medieval, Arthurian, and Shakespearean literature. As a result, much of her work has a science fantasy feel. She is the owner and publisher of NobleFusion Press, a speculative fiction press founded in 2014.
Barbara lives in an antique two-story Victorian house that hosts a few ghosts with very progressive thoughts on how to live with humans. Among other things, this paranormal situation creates a bubble of magic that seems to be a beacon to any critter that needs human intervention. It usually means food, shelter, and ridiculous veterinary bills. When she isn’t writing, this modest but charming home keeps her busy with gardening, decorating, and fixing whatever the critters or ghosts have chosen to meddle with.
She began NobleFusion in the dawn of 1994 and holds the expanded collective as her favorite authors and the Principle Founders among her closest friends.
