About The Writer
Hilton Everett Moore is a published short story author who lives and writes at his remote cabin in the near wilderness of Baraga County in 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 like to 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.
Hilton Moore's first collection of six short stories, North of Nelson, Volume I, set in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan has been published and is in distribution. This book has been awarded one of the "Top Ten U.P. Notable Books" of the year. The next collection of short stores, North of Nelson, Volume II, has also been published and is in distribution. Hilton is currently working on his next set of short stories, North of Nelson, Volume III. The saga of the Martin family continues.
There are three of his short stories previously published with one story receiving the Editor's Choice Award. The first story, "A Silent Mistress" can be read at: https://english.illinoisstate.edu/euphemism/16-1/ Three other short stories, "A Requiem for Ernie" "A Dog Named Bunny" and "Hole in the Bucket" are in print by U.P. Reader. You can get your own copy of the U.P. Reader at: https://www.etsy.com/shop/SilverMountainPress
His cabin, The Black Moth, is available for rent during the summer months on AirBnb at https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/854214961624577793 . The evolution of the peppered moth is an evolutionary instance of directional color change in the moth population as a consequence of air pollution during the Industrial Revolution. The frequency of dark-colored moths increased at that time, an example of industrial melanism. Later, when pollution was reduced in response to clean air legislation, the light-colored form again predominated. Industrial melanism in the peppered moth was an early test of Charles Darwin's natural selection in action, and it remains a classic example in the teaching of evolution. One could infer many metaphorical reasons for these adaptations other than pure biological mutations. The writer would suggest that you examine your own life and apply your own reasons for transformation.
