Fun Facts
(Stuff you may or may not already know!)

I am a twin. My twin brother Jay was also a writer. He published a collection of short stories as well as the novel, ‘Astrolabe.’ I wrote the sequel to ‘Astrolabe,’ called ‘Adalbert.’ Both novels take place in the 12th century. Unfortunately, Jay passed away in 2018 but I keep his memory alive on our website www.hipkinstwins.com.


I served in the United States Marine Corps as a combat lineman.


I am an avid runner who started running when I was about eight years old. I have finished five marathons and many shorter races, winning a few of them. I once ran forty miles in one day and then slept for about twenty-four hours!



I am a descendent of Myles Standish who was the military officer on board the Mayflower. 



I am an amateur astronomer. I observed the Transit of Venus with my twin brother Jay back in 2012.
