BIOGRAPHY

Bill has been fascinated by biblical archaeology and biblical Greek for 40 years. He grew up in Bend, Oregon, then moved to the east coast where he spent a large portion of his life in New York City and Worcester, Massachusetts. He has also lived in Spokane, Washington and on the Big Island in Hawaii.
"I've never been an outdoorsman," he says. "My idea of an outdoor activity is working a crossword puzzle near an open window."
He and his wife currently live in Arizona, where he is working on his next book.

      • People do judge books by their covers in spite of admonishment to the contrary. This is why authors are universally advised to hire a professional. I'm a rebel, I guess: I do my own covers. Partly, because I'm a control freak. I hired a professional for one cover and gave her some sketches. Her finished product looked worse than my sketches. The other reason is the artistic expression. Sometimes, when I don't feel up to advancing the story, I take a break from it and noodle around with cover ideas. I feel like it uses a different part of my brain.

      • I go back and read the work in progress. Invariably I find mistakes, or things I would prefer to say differently. I start changing those things, change a few more things, re-arrange a progression, and I'm typing. Once I start, the story moves forward. If all else fails, I lay out the problem for my wife. She is far more imaginative than I am. She will come up with 6 different ways the story could or should go. Even if none of those work for me, they always spark something that makes it possible to keep moving.

      • Certainly I read them. I've gotten some of my best advice from reviews. One reviewer of The Minotaur Medallion told me the story started too slowly to grab his interest. Another said I should have opened with the exciting boat fire scene that happens in the middle of the story. As a consequence of that feedback I started Unbroken with a 'flash-forward' to a hurricane scene that happens about midway through the story.
        I don't sweat bad reviews. They still push the numbers up. And if a book has all 5-star reviews, potential buyers would suspect they were all written by the author's relatives.

      • My high school English Literature teacher, Julie Reynolds, strongly encouraged me to think about writing as a career. It only took me 25 years to follow her advice. My first book sank without a trace, but it did show me that writing a book wasn't the herculean task I'd always thought it to be. After that, thanks to the internet, I was able to get a job writing observations on the news from a biblical perspective at the now-defunct examiner.com. After a couple years of that, writing the next book seemed fairly easy.
