Now available at Waterstone's!

I'm pleased to say that Waterstone's have stocked The Song Of The Seraphim. It's available online at www.waterstones.com/waterstonesweb/products/andrew+g+hill/the+song+of+the+seraphim/6831767/

It was a strange and exciting experience to see the book on the shelf in the Waterstone's store in the Aberdeen Trinity Mall. The staff there have been giving me great support.

School Visits

I've had the great privilege of visiting schools in Aberdeenshire and giving talks on creative writing. The welcome in each school (6 so far) has been fantastic. The response of the pupils to the talks with their comments and enthusiasm about writing has been inspiring - it's great to see so much interest in reading and writing.

For any pupil or teacher viewing this, I want to say a big thank you for your warm welcome and encouraging views on my book.

Comment from boy aged 10

I enjoyed the Song of the Seraphim a lot. It is written about a boy called George who has dreams about monsters. The book is funny, interesting and action packed. It is written in a way that children can understand.

I received my first "fan mail". Here is an edited letter from a 14 year old.


Dear Mr Hill,


I have recently finished reading your book... being a keen reader of fantasy I couldn't wait to get started.


I found the first few chapters to be slow, however, as I continued to read the reason for setting the scene became more apparent.


I thought it was a clever idea to make a giant with many heads which represented - SPOILER ALERT! - felt George's pain and misery as he was subjected to bullying and taunting.


After being kidnapped and enslaved, surrounded by depression and hopelessness I couldn't work out how George was going to escape and was delighted when -SPOILER ALERT!- Astrid's character was likeable and upbeat giving hope to George which added to the excitement.


The challenges George faced to rid himself of the giant and escape... was thrilling! Once I got into the story I couldn't put the book down and read it very quickly.


It was a fantastic read, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I look forward to reading the sequel. I would be grateful if you would sign my book.


Thank you, K
The Gospel Litature Outreach (GLO) bookshop have stocked my book. Here's the link:

My new book

A world without music… A world without light and evil creatures lurking in the darkness…
Had a hideous clone replaced his father? Who was the stranger in the storm, the one who followed him wherever he went? Who were the Seraphim? What did they want? How could he escape the claw that reached from the nightmare and grabbed him? After he is unjustly thrown off the school bus for defending himself, George gets the answers to these questions, and then his problems really begin…
