Hilda Van Siller
Hilda Van Siller (* 1911 in New York ; † 1982 ibid) was an American writer.
Live and act
She was the daughter of the engineer FT Van Siller, whom she often accompanied on his assignments abroad to Venezuela, but also to some other countries in South America, since childhood. She completed her school days in New York.
In 1941 she and her sister bought a farm in Virginia, where she found the muse to write her first detective novel - Echo of a bomb - for the next two years . Her editor at Doubleday advised her to use a "male" pseudonym and so she made her debut successfully under Van Siller .
Hilda Van Siller died in New York at the age of 70 and found her final resting place there.
