Roccie Hill - Private Sojourner

Writer, Painter, Photographer, Genealogist

Writing

I invest enormous effort in every sentence, every character…so very long ago I promised myself that I would never let a piece go until it was as perfect as I could make it. This does not mean you never finish things: it simply means you never give in.

Great writing does not always result in a marketable or polished manuscript!

I can help you in the same way I have helped dozens of other writers for over twenty years.

Hello and welcome to my website. My name is Roccie Hill and I’m an American writer living currently in California.  

“…ROCCIE HILL IS SO GOOD SHE PUTS DOZENS OF BETTER KNOWN WRITERS TO SHAME.”

Combining lyrical prose and non-stop action, Roccie Hill conjures an unforgettable character, based loosely on her own great-great grandmother, who somehow triumphs over nearly unthinkable privations. Hill’s Eliza springs to life as a true American original. I could not stop reading.”

The Blood of My Mother

Roccie Hill takes her family’s history and creates an engaging story of survival, resilience, and love. The Blood of My Mother is rich in historical details and paints vivid mental images that jump off the page with each chapter. Our book club enjoyed this selection both for its beautiful language and historical accuracy that Ms. Hill makes a great effort to maintain. I highly recommend this selection for any book club looking for a historical fiction selection.
