A bestselling romance novelist, Hill transformed her love for new beginnings into over fifty novels brimming with humor, passion, and unforgettable characters. From shy bookworm to literary sensation, her journey proves it’s never too late to chase a dream.
The Making of Sandra Hill
Born in a small Pennsylvania town, Sandra Hill grew up quiet and serious, far from the vivacious humor that would define her novels. A graduate of Lock Haven University and Pennsylvania State University, she spent over a decade as a features writer and education editor in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Journalism taught her to find light in dark stories, a skill she’d later weave into her fiction. In the early 1990s, Hill took a leap, trading reporting for romance novels—a bold new beginning inspired by her fascination with history and love.
Sandra Hill’s Unforgettable Stories
Hill’s novels are a delightful cocktail of steamy romance, laugh-out-loud humor, and vibrant settings. Her Viking I series, starting with The Reluctant Viking (1994), follows modern women swept into the arms of rugged Norse warriors. In The Outlaw Viking, a time-traveling heroine navigates passion and peril with a Viking rogue. Her Cajun series, including Tall, Dark, and Cajun, brings Louisiana’s bayous to life with charming rogues and feisty heroines, often guided by the meddling matchmaker Tante Lulu. Hill’s Deadly Angels series adds a paranormal twist, blending Viking vampire angels with modern romance. Her signature? Witty dialogue, heartfelt themes of second chances, and a knack for making readers smile.
Whether it’s a 10th-century Norseman or a modern-day Navy SEAL, Hill’s heroes are bold, her heroines spirited, and her stories always celebrate love’s transformative power. With over 88 works, her ability to cross genres—time-travel, historical, contemporary, and paranormal—keeps fans hooked.
