Chris Hill
They say there’s a story in everyone, and Chris Hill has spent his life proving it true. His writing isn’t what you would read in every other book but something that will grip your mind and heart.
He is a natural storyteller, and has drawn inspiration from an extraordinary range of experiences; from selling lawnmowers in the snow and serving aboard Royal Navy submarines, to a short but fulfilling acting career that honed his love for character and dialogue.
Now settled in central Scotland, Chris finds endless inspiration in the country’s rugged landscapes, deep folklore, and rich sense of history. These elements weave naturally into his writing, where ordinary people are often swept into extraordinary circumstances.
His debut novel, The Sand Dragon, brings together his lifelong fascination with myth, adventure, and family. The book is a reflection of not only his imagination but also of his belief in the power of storytelling to connect us through courage, emotion, and shared experience.
Every life lesson, every journey, and every character he has met adds its own colour to the worlds he creates. With warmth, humour, and a spark of mischief, Chris Hill continues to craft stories that capture both the wonder of imagination and the heart of what it means to be human.
About The Book
The Sand Dragon
What begins as a quiet family holiday suddenly spirals into an adventure that blurs the line between reality and fantasy. When Calum Shield, the imaginative middle child, sculpts a dragon from the sand and embeds a strange black fossil into its eye, he unknowingly awakens an ancient and powerful darkness.
As shadows stir beneath the waves, Calum and his brothers, Jake and Adam, are thrust into a thrilling battle against time to save their sister, their parents, and themselves. Their journey will take them across storm-tossed seas, into the heart of the dragon’s lair, and face to face with an immortal force that feeds on anger and fear.
But The Sand Dragon is more than a tale of danger and fantasy. It’s a story about brotherhood, forgiveness, and courage. Through peril and loss, the boys must learn to trust one another and discover the strength that lies in love and loyalty.
With his book The Sand Dragon, Chris Hill brings the most vivid parts of your imagination to life. This book is one that will take you to the wildest adventures in your deepest fantasies, leaving you with a thrill that will keep vibrating in your heart for days to come!
