About the
Author:
Susan D. Hill
Susan
Hill was born in Texas, but she didn’t live there long enough to get a
southern accent. Her family soon moved to Boston, but she didn’t get an
eastern accent either. Fortunately, she didn’t get a combination of the
two.
Most of her childhood, she
grew up in Ohio near the shores of Lake Erie. Here, she found a love of
sailing, but also learned to play piano, twirl a baton, and ice skate
among other things.
Amazingly, she survived
teenhood during the tail-end of the sixties and became a follower of
Jesus when she was fourteen. After high school, she attended Ohio
Wesleyan University, graduating in 1977 and worked in human resource
management for U.S. Bank for seven years before becoming a full-time
mom. She’s also served as a leader in Bible Study Fellowship and Young
Life, and currently leads an interdenominational women’s group that
started ten years ago.
Susan also works as a
volunteer administrator for Uganda Orphans Fund, a non-profit, NGO
relief organization founded by her husband, Duncan Hill. Since 2002, UOF
has built 26 different projects including orphan homes, schools and
medical clinics for AIDS and war orphans in Uganda. She also serves on
the Board.
Susan started writing for
publication about five years ago, cutting her teeth on magazine
articles. Two years ago, she took a half-written manuscript and a book
proposal to a writer’s conference. A few months later WaterBrook Press,
a division of Random House, offered her a contract.
Susan has been married to
Duncan for nearly 30 years. Together they have three grown children and
live in Montana. She still plays the piano, ice skates and sails
whenever possible, but she no longer twirls a baton. Instead, she likes
to write.
