Bay Avenue III: Pratt-ically Speaking

Jill L Hicks was born and raised in West Chester, Pennsylvania, and currently resides in Lewes, Delaware, with her husband, Bill. Together, they have two daughters. Tragically, they lost their eldest, Jamie, in an automobile accident when she was just twenty. Jamie is survived by her younger sister, Jessie, and her half-sister, Jenn. Jill is very close to her extended family. She draws on her personal experiences and the stories of others to express the joys and sorrows of life and love. Jill is a graduate of Penn State University with a degree in Music Education. In her spare time she loves to read, play piano, ride her bike, sail, and spend quality beach time with her husband, family, and friends. Ironically, Jill loathed reading until just several years ago. Suddenly, poring through twenty to thirty books a summer, she ran out of beach books to read and decided to write her own, ergo her first novel, ＂BAY AVENUE: The Inheritance.＂
