Welcome to my page
I’m J.F. Hilley, a veteran turned storyteller — an author who finds beauty in shadows, history in scars, and meaning in the moments that haunt us most. My stories blend the visceral and the mythical, weaving together echoes of war, love, loss, and redemption. I write about flawed heroes, ancient curses, and the fragile, enduring strength of the human spirit.

Whispers of the Crimson Sun
