About Hilton Everett Moore
Hilton Everett Moore is a published short story author who lives and writes at his remote cabin in the near wilderness of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
He has held many positions in his life including: a stint as a kennel man for a Humane Society, a factory worker, later as a certified pipe welder in the oil fields of West Texas, also as an assistant manager of a lumber company. Ironically in a chapter he would rather forget, a gut-wrenching failed attempt at owning a restaurant.
After a midlife crisis he went back to college and received a Master's Degree in Social Work. Upon graduation he was employed in the Michigan prison system as a Clinical Social Worker.
Presently he enjoys writing in his cabin in the wilderness. He likes to fish with worms.
