Synopsis

A fast-paced adventure and mystery for magic and animal lovers, as well as anyone with a temper. The second trimester at FAA (Familiar Academy for Avians) begins with Jules growing desperate to regain her magic and find her vanished father. She will try any cure, even many of the crazy 77 Ways to restore her seventh sense. The fourteen-year-old sets out with her best friend Lance, the accident prone runt dragon, and the musical Birds of Disfeather to unlock a secret vault and fix the school's deranged Maze. Even if they survive such dangers, the academy's talent show still might kill them. Can Jules manage her temper and muster the patience needed to wait for the wizardly moment to act? Can she find her father? Is she more than her lost magic?

About the Author:

William Hill is a naturalized northern Nevadan, a native of Indianapolis, Indiana and a product of many places and stories. Bill has lived in numerous locales, including Prairie Village, KS, Bristol, TN, around Dallas and Denton, TX; and in south and north Lake Tahoe, NV. Currently he creates out of Gardnerville, NV. Bill first learned to read through superhero comic books, then spy-thrillers, Sci-Fi and finally fantasy novels, tucked in among the required classic readings. He has earned a 'serious' degree from Vanderbilt University in Economics and Business Management and a MBA from the University of North Texas, as well as certification in Outdoor Emergency Care. Since realizing that writing was his best talent and a gift, Bill escaped the restrictive drudgery of the corporate world to craft his tales. Along with working in Human Resources, Bill has been employed as an 'alchemist' in South Lake Tahoe, a ski patroller at Diamond Peak in Incline Village, NV, and a sports official in Douglas County. Impatient Fire is Bill's tenth novel. Bill, his lovely wife Kat, and their wonderful son, Brin, live in the foothills of the eastern Sierra and on the high desert of the south Carson Valley. Bill intends to write imaginative fiction and fantasy until dirt is shoveled upon his coffin. Bill travels nationwide, visiting about 30-50 schools and libraries each year to inspire readers and writers with his workshops.
