Author Biography

As far back as he can remember, Bill Hiatt had a love for reading so intense that he eventually ended up owning over eight thousand books--not counting e-books! He has also loved to write for almost that long. As an English teacher, he had little time to write, though he always felt there were stories within him that longed to get out, and he did manage to publish a few books near the end of his teaching career. Now that he is retired from teaching, the stories are even more anxious to get out into the world, and they will not be denied!

Since fantasy has always been Bill's favorite genre, and since he spent thirty-six years in teaching, mostly at the high school level, it's not surprising that his first published work would be young adult fantasy, though he plans to explore other genres in the future, including science-fiction, horror, and nonfiction related to education.

Reviewed by Tracy Slowiak for Readers' Favorite

In a fantastic new read from author Bill Hiatt, Evil Within Yourselves: Spell Weaver Book Four continues the story of Taliesin "Tal" Weaver. Tal's had a great deal of trials in his life, including attacks by witches, dragons, faerie kings and even ex-gods. His enemies are still after him, but worse yet, his enemies are also working to turn his friends against him. Now Tal isn't sure who he can trust, and he's not even sure he can trust himself. He's had a spell cast on him by the girl he's fallen in love with, and he's having more and more trouble controlling his 'Dark Me,' his evil alter ego. And when his Dark Me gets its own body, well, that's when things get really complicated!

I so, so enjoyed Evil Within Yourselves. Author Bill Hiatt has done an absolutely wonderful job of continuing the epic Spell Weaver series. His ability to create characters that his readers will be able to connect with and relate to, even in a fantastic setting, is spot on, and his world creation skills are second to none. Readers who have already read the first three books in the series will be pleased with this installment and the conclusions it reaches; readers who pick this book up out of order will still find a great read that will make them eager to read more from this very talented author. I am pleased to recommend Evil Within Yourselves to any lover of fictional fantasy, and I certainly am looking forward to reading more from author Bill Hiatt as soon as I possibly can.
