William lives in a small Buckinghamshire village in England. By
night he writes speculative, historical, crime and other fiction.
His debut novel, EXPIRATION DAY, was published by Tor Teen in 2014
and won the 2015 Hal Clement Award for better than half-decent

By day he writes software for a living and in the twilight he
sings tenor, plays guitar and writes songs.
