A
native New Yorker, born and raised in the Bronx, James L Hill spent
his adolescence years in Fort Apache, the South Bronx 41st precinct
during the 60’s, a time when you needed to have a gang to go to the
store. Raised on blues, soul, and rock and roll gave him the heart of
a flower child. Educated by the turmoil of Vietnam, Civil Rights, and
the Sexual Revolution turned James into a gladiator. Realizing the
precariousness of life, he took on an adventurous outlook trying
anything once, and if it did not kill him, maybe twice.
12 years
of Catholic education and a couple of years in college spread between
wild drug induce euphoric years, which did not kill him, produced an
unique moral compass that swings in any direction it wants. A
scientific mind and a spirit that nothing is impossible if you want
it bad enough guides his writings. He enjoys traveling to new places
and seeing what life has to offer.
With little other interest
outside the bedroom, and still a hopeless insomniac, he is free to
pound out plots. Killer
With A Heart is
the first in a series for Bulletproof Morris ‘Mojo’
Johnson and Killer
With Three Heads continues
the saga. James writes crime stories (as J L Hill) and science
fictions, with a slant on the dark side of life. He recently
penned, The
Emerald Lady,
the first in the fantasy Gem Stones Series is coming soon.
GUEST POST
Do the characters all come to you at the same time or do some of
them come to you as you write?
I am a planner. I write synopsis,
chapter outlines, and character profiles. I start the story with all
the major people firmly in place. I know when and where they will
make their appearances. But with all the planning some people still
find their way into the story that I didn’t plan on. They introduce
themselves at just the right time. I take them as they come and add
them to the profiles. Stories are a fluid thing; I can’t plan for
every twist or everyone that shows up.
What do you think about the current
publishing market?
The publishing marketplace has never
been easy to navigate. Some may think it is better, easier, and open
to all today. That last part is true, but it does not make it better.
I returned to writing and started my publishing company, RockHill
Publishing LLC, because it is easier. However, the same rules and
standards must be upheld. Many people who self-publish skip the
basics of good editing, strong plots, and well-defined themes. Which
means some books that are published shouldn’t be, and when the
traditional publishing houses were the gatekeepers they weren’t.
There are publishers who will print
anything for a price, but the new technologies are slowly putting
them out of business. Or at least cutting into their business.
Independent and small publishers can put out quality work without
ripping off the authors. We do the things the major houses do, and
most importantly, making sure the book is ready for the marketplace.
Pen or computer?
I write mostly, almost exclusively, on
computer. Computers make editing, rewriting, and writing in the first
place easier. I used to write longhand because I am that old. I wrote
on typewriters, even though I am a terrible typist. Sometimes, when I
come to an important part of the story, I go back to pen and paper.
Because I can write faster and freer, get my thoughts down before
they escape my mind. I cannot type as fast as I can write, I cannot
write as fast as I think, and I cannot dictate at all.
Describe your writing style
My writing style has morphed over the
last few years. I still outline and plan my novels before I begin. I
would write a few chapters, go back over them and edit, then move
forward. I write and edit at the same time. It helped me keep the
storyline straight and on track. It took a year or more of actual
writing to complete a book. It takes two to three years to put a book
together this way.
A couple of years
ago I joined NANOWRIMO, the national novel writing month competition,
during which you write a novel in one month. Throughout November, you
try to reach 50k words, the bare minimum for a novel. The plan is to
write 1,666 words each day without looking back. No editing, no
rewriting, just move forward. I have done three novels that way, The
Emerald Lady, Killer With Black Blood, and The Ruby Cradle.
The Emerald Lady is in print. Killer
With Black Blood and The Ruby Cradle are going through editing and
rewrites as we speak.
