Author

William Van Tuyle lives with his wife and dog in the Midwest of the United States. He admittedly struggles to talk about himself and prefers discussing his stories and characters instead, but he’ll give this author description his best attempt.

From a young age, he was captivated by compelling narratives and characters and has always loved creating his own. Since discovering the wizardry of words and their unlimited potential, he’s worn out one keyboard after another and driven those around him mad, or close to it. Such a fate is still preferable to witnessing his handwriting.
