William was born the son of a sharecropper in South Georgia. His early years were spent in a transition period -- not quite primitive, not quite modern. As a result, he has firsthand knowledge of farming with a mule, picking corn by hand, harvesting cotton and tobacco, killing and dressing meat, and a host of other things that one learns growing up in a rural community. He graduated from high school at age 17 and began his college education at a small South Georgia college. He later graduated with a bachelor’s degree in mathematics education. During his teaching career, he also earned a masters and education specialist degree. Since retiring he has been writing historical fiction as well as other works.
