| Bio | James R. D. Hilton is a lifelong student of science fiction, his mind having been warped at a tender young age by the Space channel, not to mention the works of Douglas Adams, Arthur C. Clarke, Robert Heinlein, and Kurt Vonnegut. He majored in Communications and Media at Providence University College, studied Television Writing and Producing at Humber College, and once took a creative writing class, but was suspended for excessive doodling. The language of cinema is his greatest passion, and his enthusiasm for the films he grew up with shapes the stories he writes. His previous credits include multiple short stories published in Pulp Kings magazine, where the Known Universe was born. He resides somewhere in his home province of Alberta, where he may occasionally be spotted outside smoking his pipe and petting stray cats. |
| Publications | My debut novel, "Into the Known Universe: A Cosmic Love Story, Kinda," a science fiction adventure story, is being released through FriesenPress in April 2024. Beginning in 2018, I had several short stories published in Pulp Kings Magazine, all set in the Known Universe. These issues are still available for purchase in the Stray Books store (https://straybooks.ca/). Otherwise, I have it on good authority from an interdimensional sojourner that in an alternate reality, I penned the Harry Potter series. Incidentally, the Harry Potter books sold abysmally in that reality, but it's an interesting bit of trivia just the same. |
