My Writing
I hold a BA in Creative Writing from San Francisco State University ('94) and my story "Super Heroes", won the 1991 Bay Guardian Fiction Contest.My first mystery novel ("Resurrection Angel") was a finalist for both the St. Martins Press Best First Mystery Novel, and for the Private Eye Writers of America Shamus Award for Best First Novel of the Year.I created the award winning podcast "Bill Watches Movies", where I rambled about old monster movies. I described it as the love child of Old Time Radio and Mystery Science Theater 3000; it was a 3 time nominee for the Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Award for Best Podcast of the Year.After more than two decades away from the short story and the novel, I've decided to sit down at the desk again, and see what happens.
About Me
I'm a husband, a father, a USAF veteran and a follower of Christ.
I've been a Boy Scout, a Life Coach for Men, a Waldenbooks Manager, and a Fortune 500 consultant.After 24 years of the latter, I have retired to a very small town in Kentucky, and act as a full time dementia caregiver for my wife's father, while also volunteering at my church and working with those in recovery.I love Star Trek, James Bond, The Lord of the Rings, Dune, Seinfeld, Millennium Godzilla, Romero Zombies, old monster movies, the occasional vodka tonic, going to conventions, playing "Call of C'thulhu" and listening to Frank Sinatra, U2, Tears For Fears, R.E.M. and other various and sundry new wave bands from my youth.I contain multitudes, as does everyone.
