Billie Hoard is possessed of two superpowers: she can sleep almost anywhere at almost any time, and she reflexively forms an opinion on any topic within seconds of hearing a single fact. She writes, teaches, ponders, wonders, teaches a little more, and generally makes a nuisance of herself on social media. She suffers from a debilitating appreciation of pipe smoke, and old books, and tweed.

Billie is currently working on her stories and immersing herself in the joys and struggles of intentional community in Baltimore MD. In addition to writing, Billie is also a history teacher and a founding editor at Pints & Prose, an online creative laboratory.
