Monté Hill

Author's Note - November 2024: As a native of Western North Carolina, I was heartbroken to see the devastation from flooding that occurred in the region due to Helene. Without revealing any spoilers, many of the settings in 'Catbird Winter', a novel that occurs during the Great Flood of 2016, were damaged just as badly in 2024, and some were wiped out entirely. As a way to help in the recovery in at least some small way, 100% of royalties earned from sales of Catbird Winter are being donated to various Helene relief funds. Details can be found on my website. Back to the bio... Monté Hill is a native of Western North Carolina where she lived before moving to Denver, Colorado with her partner in 2019. Two years later, they became digital nomads, traversing the Lower Forty-Eight with a side trip to Belgium and France, where they indulged their passion for Belgian ales, chocolate, and frites. She does her best writing in brewpubs. When she’s not conjuring her next story, you will find her and her partner exploring craft breweries, hiking red rocks, gravel grinding on their pedal bikes, photographing Saguaros, or squeezing through slot canyons in waist deep water. If you look close, you might even glimpse her crossing the finish line of the occasional half-marathon. Monté now makes her home amongst the Saguaros of Arizona and the Vermilion Cliffs of southern Utah, but the Appalachians will always occupy that singular place of heart.
