Korte biografie
Ted Hill grew up in the front pew of the Methodist church in Denton, Texas where he honed his scribbling skills on the church bulletin. He peaked as a senior in high school when he became Class President, Homecoming King, All-District Offensive Tackle, and Class Clown. He also failed Spanish II and Geometry, but graduated because of football credits.
Ted then took his talents to Bethany College in the middle of Kansas where he fell in love with his wife, and the heartland. He now lives in Colorado, staying busy with his two boys, and their dog and cat--Molly and Ginger.

A plague has swept the nation (and possible world) killing everyone eighteen years of age and older. The kids that are left behind are determined to man up and keep on living as best as they can. Jimmy, a seventeen year old, is a council member of a town called “Independents” and his soul goal is to provide for the children under him and beat the plague that is knocking at his door. When his brother Hunter returns to town with a small girl named Catherine, he realizes that his prayers may be answered. Although no one knows how, Catherine has the ability to heal making her a poplar person in the town. But Independents isn’t the only town that wants Catherine for her healing powers.

I am just going to be honest and say that I really liked “Sudden Independents.” It has a little bit of something that everyone could enjoy and relate to: family trouble, spats, jealousy, violence, fast cars/motorcycles, action, forgiveness, danger, hatred, and love. And you will find that because of all of these categories are present; you will be wrapped up into the story line almost immediately. I kept promising myself that I would finish a chapter and then go do something constructive other than reading and I just couldn’t do it. I had to know what was going to happen next. Hill makes you really feel for his characters and you want the absolute best for them, you want them to strive to survive. I will say that this book may not be some people’s “cup of tea” but it was certainly mine.
