Hi. I’m Bill.
Who?
Well, when I’m not busy posing on couches, I’m a guy who writes stuff.
I’m a husband, a father, a USAF veteran and a spiritual seeker.
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.
I love Star Trek, James Bond, The Lord of the Rings, Dune, Seinfeld, The First 48, Millennium Godzilla, old monster movies, the occasional vodka tonic, going to conventions, and listening to Frank Sinatra, U2, Tears For Fears, R.E.M. and other various and sundry new wave bands from my youth.
In the past, I’ve written award winning short stories, award nominated mystery novels, and award winning podcast episodes.
I have a BA in Creative Writing from San Francisco State University, and this little website is my way of putting all that creativity and writing in one place.
What Kind of Writing?
You’re going to get fiction, usually in the form of Microfiction (100 words or less) or Flash Flash Fiction (1,000 words or less).
You’re going to get essays, which is just my way of exploring and explaining my world and what I’m going through, good or bad, at any given moment.
And finally, you’re probably going to get silly blog posts, because sometimes I just want to drop the art and craft, and talk some casual nonsense about something.
Why?
I just want to share my work with you, and this seems to be the easiest way to do it. We are living in difficult, challenging times, and I just want to be able to use this talent that I have been given to:
a) give you a bit of a break and
b) perhaps to encourage you to take up a pen, pencil or keyboard and do some writing of your own.
To paraphrase Walt Whitman, each of us contains multitudes, each of us has talents, gifts and treasures within us that we can, if we allow ourselves to, to share with others.
I hope that by walking out here on the tightrope alone, by myself, I might encourage you to take a leap of faith of your own.
Okay, What’s The Catch?
There’s no catch, really. I know a lot of folks tend to put the good stuff behind paywalls, charging money for their work, and I guess that’s good for them.
Me, personally, I plan on just writing, enjoying myself and, hopefully delivering work that you might enjoy as well.
If you want to support my work, just hit one of the links below, and have at it!
That’s It?
Yes, that’s it.
I truly hope that my work, my writing, can be a brief pit stop of creativity and joy in your world.
In the future, there might be other goodies, maybe some writing classes, some YouTube videos, whatever, but for right now, I’m just trying to keep it simple.
No matter what, I am grateful for you stopping by and being here.
Thank you!
