Hi. I'm William. I'm a writer and so forth.
Fantasy, Science Fiction, Macabre. Scripted and prose.
I enjoy writing about cosmic chaos, otherworldly dominion, spiritual crisis, misplaced guilt, religious terror, doomed romance, environmental madness, paranoid isolation, reality-defining psychosis, self-consuming delusion, promises of power, and selfless ideals. Sometimes robots.
My independent audio drama and fiction has been chosen as a Platinum Selection of the HEAR Now Festival • A Showcase Selection of the PodTales Festival • Co-Winner of the Audio Verse Awards' Writing of a New Spoken Word Production • Geekie Awards Best Narrative Audio Series • and awarded Best Speculative Fiction Story (Long Form) from the Parsec Awards.
I wrote and directed an hour-long version of my play The Birthing Pit, a Gothic Romance at the end of the American Revolutionary War, in the 2017 Hollywood Fringe Festival • Audiences called it "Beautiful," "Haunting," and "Macabre."
I wrote, directed, edited, and created the visual effects of The House That Jack Built, a short fairy tale film which aired annually during Halloween on PBS in the United States and was distributed by Ouat Media in Europe • 2012 Best Editing Prairie State Film Festival • 2010 Founder’s Award Wildwood Film Festival
I love books. Their size. Their shape. Their smell. The texture of their pages. I love them. Favorites include A Canticle for Leibowitz, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, Jane Eyre, Watership Down, and Giants in the Earth.
I'm from Wisconsin but now live in Los Angeles.
I miss the snow but not the cold.

In May of 2024 I had a heart attack. The day started like any other.
Three different doctors at the hospital and a later cardiologist described the attack as “massive.” Please monitor your cholesterol and if you live a sedentary life— writing, creating with computers— get off your butt.
You can buy me a coffee on Ko-fi • You can play my games on Itch • You can read my plays on NPX • And you can join my storytelling Patreon to follow and / or support the things I write and the things I make. Audio drama and fiction, novels, plays, games, and— whatever else...
Statement on Generative AI
I do not and will not use generative ai.
This includes every work I create— audio, visual, and text.
This includes every work I create— audio, visual, and text.
I will not cede the joy of thought, of creation, of curiosity.
Furthermore, the performance agreements I offer actors for my productions stipulate I will not utilize any portion of their recording for purposes other than those specified, including but not limited to, creation of synthetic voices or for machine learning. Nor shall I utilize any recording to simulate the performer’s voice or likeness.
