  <about><![CDATA[Poet/novelist Owen Hill  lives in Berkeley, California. 

He is the author of seven small collections of poetry (the latest is Against the Weather from Blue Press)  and Loose Ends, a book of short stories. His first novel, The Chandler Apartments was called one of the best mysteries of 2002 by the Chicago Tribune. In his Tribune review Dick Adler wrote, “Berkeley, California poet Owen Hill captures the taste &amp; texture of the yeasty street &amp; bed life of his native turf with an eye that manages to be fresh &amp; appropriately amoral.&quot; The Chandler Apartments prominently featured The Chandler Building, Hill's residence during the writing of the book.His second, The Incredible Double, features the same characters and locale. It is available from PM Press in Oakland.

Mr. Hill is currently working on his fourth Clay Blackburn mystery novel.
 He  works as a book buyer and events coordinator at Berkeley's literary landmark, Moe’s Books.
