Submission declined on 4 September 2024 by Wikishovel (talk). This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies. This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of books). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Introduction
[edit]The Silence of The Hills is a collection of various short stories, poems, and essays from genres such as horror, mystery, romance, crime, and science fiction. In the words of the Author himself- "This anthology showcases a selection of short stories and poems penned by the author. Encompassing a variety of genres such as science fiction, horror, mystery, and thriller, the tales within offer an engaging read for readers of diverse ages and inclinations.
In the tranquil expanse of mist-covered hills, where murmurs reverberate through ancient woodlands and forgotten paths lead to enigmatic domains, I am deeply impressed by the legacy of literary greats. As I compose my debut work, "The Silence of The Hills," I draw inspiration from the luminaries who have graced the stage of storytelling before me. Shakespeare, the adept chronicler of human emotions, imparted to me the rhythms of passion. His sonnets, soliloquies, and tragedies endure through the ages, reminding us that love, ambition, and folly are the fundamental threads of our existence. In his works, I find both comfort and challenge—a testament to the fact that language is a dynamic entity, constantly evolving. Coleridge, the visionary wanderer, bestowed upon us "Kubla Khan" and "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner." His verses transport us to fantastical landscapes, where imagination intertwines with reality. From him, I learn the craft of infusing enchantment into the everyday, of breathing life into the mundane. Then there is Arthur Conan Doyle, whose pipe-smoking sleuth, Sherlock Holmes, strides through the foggy streets of London, unraveling mysteries with razor-sharp logic. Doyle’s meticulous attention to detail and the dance of deduction inspire me. His stories remind me that every character, every clue, holds significance—even the smallest inkling can alter the course of a narrative. However, it is not only these luminaries; it is the collective murmur of countless storytellers—the bards, the balladeers, the chroniclers—who reverberate through time. Their ink-stained hands have shaped civilizations, ignited revolutions, and whispered secrets into the night. They’ve taught me that storytelling is a sacred covenant between writer and reader—a ballet of revelation and concealment. I aspire for my own writing to echo this harmony. It carries the weight of their influence, yet dances to its own cadence. I aim for prose that breathes, dialogue that crackles, and imagery that lingers like dew on morning petals. My characters—imperfect, hopeful, beleaguered—wander the same hills where I walk, seeking answers, redemption, or simply a moment of respite. As I undertake this literary odyssey, I bear their torch, cognizant of the responsibility. The hills listen, their silence heavy with anticipation. Perhaps they harbor secrets of their own— stories etched in stone, whispered by winds, awaiting a willing scribe. Thus, dear reader, journey with me. Together, let us explore these mistenveloped hills, where shadows meld with light, and where the ink flows freely. For in the silence, there lies magic—the magic of words, of tales woven from stardust and yearning. And so, with reverence and passion, I offer you “The Silence of The Hills.” Note: “The Silence of The Hills” is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to actual events or locales is purely coincidental."
