Bill is the author of award-winning speculative short fiction, and creator of the detective team of Ramses II and Bernie Clayberg.
Years ago, he decided that he was not going to age gracefully but go kicking and screaming all the way. Living in Madison, WI and retired from a life in architecture, he has time to devote to the things he truly loves without staying up too late at night. (Hint: too many to list here, go to the links page.)
Currently Bill is working on his first novel, “The Wrong Side of the Rainbow” and plotting out its many sequels.

Okay, now that’s out of the way, let’s continue…
WHY DO YOU WRITE? Wow, starting off with a big one. I guess it’s because I have all these stories inside me and I need to get them out or I might go crazy. I know I’ll never win a Pulitzer, Hugo, or any grand award. I just want to give people a good time reading my stories. It’s fun writing them, and I hope they’re just as fun to read.
WHY SCIENCE FICTION, FANTASY, AND THE LIKE? For that I blame Victor Appleton II. He’s the author of The New Tom Swift Jr Adventures. I devoured these books as a young impressionable child. They were magic for me, and I had them all. After that, there was no looking back. I didn’t want the normal world. That was all around me every day. I wanted something new, adventure, mystery, the unknown. Still do.
WHO’S YOUR FAVORITE ACTOR? That’s easy. He’s the biggest star in Hollywood and beyond. It’s Godzilla, of course. You see, I look upon Godzilla as sort of an everyman. Sometimes he’s the good guy, sometimes he’s not, but he’s always just trying to be himself. Aren’t we all?
more to come….
