James L. Hill (aka J.L. Hill) isn’t just an author—he’s a living, breathing New York story. Born in the fire of the South Bronx’s Fort Apache during the turbulent 60s, he grew up in a world where you needed a gang just to go to the store. But between the blues records spinning in the background and the chaos of Vietnam and the Civil Rights Movement outside his door, James became something rare with a creative heart. A self-proclaimed "hopeless insomniac" with a scientific mind and a moral compass that swings where it pleases, James has lived enough for three lifetimes—Catholic school kid, wild child, computer programmer, and finally, a writer who channels his Bronx grit into sharp crime novels and mind-bending sci-fi. His Killer series (starring bulletproof detective Morris ‘Mojo’ Johnson) reads like a love letter to the streets that raised him, while Pegasus: A Journey to New Eden and The Emerald Lady prove he’s just as at home in the stars as he is in a back alley.Through RockHill Publishing, he’s not just telling his own stories—he’s holding the door open for others. Shaped one of the most original voices in indie publishing.
