King Hill
Born in Los Angeles, California, and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, King Hill was raised along with two brothers by a single mom.

Rey Colina Publishing
For my mom, Maggie, the first enormous influence, and her husband, Bob, the man who saved my life.
To my brother Mark, who first encouraged my writing.
To my freshman English instructor, Ms. Killian,
who told me I didn't know what a sentence was,
but who helped me correct that weakness.
And to my wife and girls, who bring me continued joy and,
sometimes, subject matter.
