Hi, I’m K.C. Hill — writer, artist, and chronic overthinker. 

Welcome!

This is where I share works in progress, strange ideas, and the behind-the-scenes mess of making a story out of the beautiful, uncomfortable stuff of life.

If you like fiction with heart, humor, and a little darkness around the edges — you’re in the right place.

I'm deep into my debut novel right now - a murder mystery set in the Black Forest - in a chemo rehab clinic (very like the one I know).

The story so far involves an heirloom clue, alphanumeric messages, espionage, a bitter grudge, and a grumpy but wise old turtle named King Turt. 

My favorite method of transportation is the train. After that: my feet. I'm a hardcore pedestrian.

I'm part Sioux, part Comanche, and the rest is cowboy. (Dutch, Deutsch, some other stuff.)

I've been living in Germany since 2002. I consider myself a permanent tourist, as Peter Mayle terms it.

I love snooker. All the players impress me, but my personal favorite: John Higgins.  

As with most writers, reading is a way of life for me. Unlike most writers, I wasn't an early reader.
