About this title

About the Author:

A native New Yorker, James L Hill spent his adolescent 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 & roll gave him the heart of a flower child and educated during the turmoil of Vietnam, Civil Rights and Sexual Revolution, produced a gladiator. Realizing the precariousness of life gave him an adventurous outlook and willingness to try anything once, and if it did not kill him, perhaps twice. Twelve years of Catholic education and a couple more in college spread between wild drug-induced euphoric years, gave James a unique moral compass, which swings in any direction it wants. A scientific mind and a spirit that believes nothing is impossible if you want it bad enough guides his writings. He enjoys travelling to new places and discovering what life has to offer. He began writing short stories in his teens, then explored poetry and in his twenties moved on to include novels. He worked in the financial industry and later got a degree in computer programming, his other love. James has a successful career as a software engineer designing, developing and maintaining systems for the government and private sector and has been programming for almost forty years in various languages. After years in the computer world, he returned to his first passion, unleashing the characters in his head. Still a hopeless insomniac, he feels free to pound out plots. James L Hill is a prolific storyteller writing crime stories, fantasies and science fiction, with a slant on the dark side of life. The next step on his journey naturally led to the business of publishing. He started RockHill Publishing LLC not only to produce his own work, but also to offer others access to the literary world. His computer background and experiences in word processing give him insight into what it takes to publish good books. Killer With A Heart is the first adult crime novel in the Killer series of Bulletproof Morris 'Mojo' Johnson.

Review:

I found that this book had you wanting to read it and not putting it down till the end. This story has it all in it. There is a love story, murder, fighting the mob. The story is about a young gang of kids that steal money from the mob and it leads to murder. This book is for adults that likes crime fighting scenes with graphics. -- David Duncan The writing is dense and intense, simultaneously richly coloured and dark. It's a world with which I have no connexion, yet Mr. Hill brings it alive, and lends to it the universality of the human condition. -- Roberta Pearce
