Brenda Colley Hill
published her first book with Random House while attending graduate courses
at Columbia University in New York City.
When Columbia gave her a
grant to work as an American Correspondent in Switzerland, she left New York
and has not stayed in one place since. Work, marriage, children and the
wanderlust spirit has enabled her to work and live in rural Spain, London,
NYC, Boston, Toronto, country New England, Key Largo and coastal California
with a sojourn on Santa Catalina Island. She currently resides on a small
barrier island on the Gulf of Mexico with a canoe, a fishing boat and a
motor-scooter.
Brenda's Dad instilled in
her a passion for creative writing. His books were sold in 6 languages. Her
mother was a librarian. A love of reading leads to the joy of writing.
Daughter Robin is a
successful food writer, and son, Matthew, writes songs as a hobby, while he
works around the world.
Brenda writes articles and
books and conducts seminars with her writing partner Maralyn Hill. They met
nearly 30 years ago at Maralyn's marketing organization in Connecticut.
Often one of this future tandem team would remark..."You know, someday we
ought to write a book."
Finally, they did. They
traveled to unearth treasures in remote places in the world such as Fiji,
Africa, India, remote Philippine Islands, Egypt, the Indian Ocean, and their
own backyards. Most of the treasures are found within.
They continue to live far
apart, coastlines to countries, and commute to make their tandem writing
work.
Their first book is a success, so they wrote another, and now cannot stop.
In 2001 they wrote, Our Love Affairs with Food & Travel, in 2005 with French
Master Chef Herve Laurent they wrote Cooking Secrets the Why and How, and
2008 brings '$uccess, Your Path to a Successful Book'. Success was published
in answer to the many participants at Maralyn and Brenda's seminars,
marketing workshops, and classes at writer's conferences and spas. Students
and participants often ask them, "How do we get started?" $UCCESS tells how.
