About the Author
Writing was always something Hillery just did. Ideas for short stories, poems, song lyrics, and hesitant scripts were constant thought clouds skating across her mind every day. Based in London and from the shoe-making mecca of Northampton, Hillery has fond memories of exciting childhood summers spent visiting relatives across the capital: soaking up the loud atmosphere, sampling pepper-laced meals and listening to the comforting harmonies of 'home' accents. With a creative industry background, Hillery pursued a master's degree in creative writing to enhance her writing skills. A Name in History, born during her studies, delves into the pursuit of the truth behind a closely guarded family secret tied to an unfamiliar name from the past. It explores the profound impact of hidden secrets on our collective future, resonating especially with those denied their ancestral anchors in the face of inhumane greed. Hillery Bpatiste hopes the story will resonate with everyone, but particularly with those denied their ancestral anchors when names, and the very essence of humans, were removed to enable twisted, inhumane expediency and greed.
