"Age appears to be best in four things, -old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read." (Alonso of Aragon)
Background
Information
Hi. I'm Bill Burgett, an old author. Alonso is right. Old age allows one to draw from a lifetime of experiences and relationships when putting pen to paper. A former veteran, business executive, and Lutheran minister, I have many experiences on which to draw as a novelist.
Retired, I live with my wife of many years in historic Central Virginia, and I have time to write. I write mysteries that challenge the reader's life assumptions.
Mark Garrison is my serial protagonist, and by cunning and, in some cases, sheer will, Mark resolves a new conflict in each of my books.
My fourth Mark Garrison novel, Death among the Cypress Knees, has just been released as an E-BOOK by Barnes and Noble, and is now available for purchase online or at your favorite book store, or by downloading to your e-reader.
