I believe the stories that reveal themselves to us are the ones we are meant to tell.
Jill Blocker is an internationally bestselling author whose work weaves narrative history into illuminating stories. With a background in journalism, her craft is rooted in a passion for words in both refuge and revolution.
Raised between the Indiana countryside and Seattle metropolis, Jill’s early life unfolded across states. She studied journalism at Ball State University, which established her for a career in print and broadcast news, including tenures at The Star Press, The Washington Post and KOMO 4 News. Her craft in creative writing was refined through Stanford University.
Her debut novel, What Was Beautiful and Good (Was schön war und gut), was an Amazon bestseller and received international recognition for its lyrical prose and historical accuracy. Exploring themes of love, loss and the resilience of art amid political turmoil, it was brought to life with a German translation by Christine K. Gubler and publisher, Münster Verlag.
Jill currently lives in Zürich, Switzerland, where she continues to write stories that illuminate the human experience across borders. She believes deeply in the power of language to bridge distance and time, and in the quiet courage it takes to live one’s own story.
