"Gil Hough was born in Detroit, Michigan and
raised on the waters of Lake St. Clair, spending the majority of his youth
reading and boating. After graduating from Grand Valley State University, where
he mostly studied his love of the sport of rowing, he left for various
adventures, which included several years of non-violent reconciliation work in
Northern Ireland through the Brethren Volunteer Service, working with refugees
from Central America seeking political asylum and teaching English as a second
language in Torreon, Mexico.
Gil settled in Knoxville, Tennessee where he
resides today. After spending four years organizing Appalachian communities, he
worked as the Tennessee Director of Renewable Programs at the Southern Alliance
for Clean Energy, until he moved on to developing renewable
energy projects with Restoration Services, Inc. He is a founding member of TenneSEIA (Tennessee Solar
Energy Industries Association) where he serves as the Executive Director,
advocating for the orderly and sustained development of solar energy.
In his spare time he likes to tell stories

Order of the Lion and his
paranormal thriller series The Throne of
Hearts.
