To the students at my school I'm known as Mr. Bill, as it's easy for them to remember. I tell them william is my profesional name as a children author.

Why I Write

About 25 years ago, I started writing poetry for my wife Lisa.

Then I did it for special occasions: Valentine’s Day, Birthdays and such. Then about 5 years later, I started working for the school district here in Concord, Ca. in 1987, I started as a P.M Custodian working nights at Olympic high. I did this for about seven years, and then I got a promotion to become a Head Custodian for an Elementary School. gregory Gardens. I started writing poetry for teachers, for retirees, students and writing poems for different places for businesses. I wrote a poem to the makers of Snapple tea and received 32, 24 oz. drinks. Then I wrote a poem for a place called the Jungle where kids can be set free to play in a two story building with big tubes. They crawl and slide thru these tubes and get tired out. They gave me 24 free passes that I gave to the schools P.T.A. The principal of the school told me I should write a book from all my poems and put in our school library. So I did.  Thanks to Mr. Bob Coritone Title: Modern Poetry. I made the cover and everything myself, it went thru the district for processing and passed. All books had to be checked for bad words and such by four different people.

I'm in ibook store, Kindle and Nook for The nest that could fly.

I would read in the class rooms and children would laugh and giggle over my riddles and I didn’t even have illustrations yet. This is when I wanted to be a writer of children books. Then I wrote Rockets over California, about Model Rocketry. And then I caught a hummingbird in a class room and wrote a story on that. Hummer the hummingbird

I then wrote my best book based on D.A.R.E Education. Title: Bill’s P.R.I.D.E. The P.R.I.D.E stands for public relations in dare education. It’s to help kids ages nine on up to never try tobacco.

A few years later, I went to another school. I stopped writing, do to politics at a school. After two years I seen a parent at a store and she asked if I wrote any more books. I told her no, I stopped altogether. Told her about my situation and she said, I should get my own web site to post them on. I then hired a college Student to make one up for me. For the two years of not writing, then I got a few hobbies with my children. I got into R/C airplanes, and did a lot of fishing. By the third year I got around this subject kind of, by volunteering to read at day cares after hours and by giving my books to teachers. From here I wrote a few more other books. One about a family of robins: The Nest That Could Fly. And the other: the What Am I? Bugs A part two to the first what am I? Book

I met a parent at my school one of the P.T.A people who was doing posters for my school carnival, and asked her if she could do illustrations of my book? She agreed to do. It took her many months to complete as she has six children and was always very busy.

I went thru LULU.com to get published.
