About Bill Alive

Bill Alive

Bill Alive writes award-winning comedy, mystery, and fantasy and science-fiction—often all in the same books. His two cozy paranormal series, the MURDER FEELS AWFUL series (starring an empath detective) and the WONDER SPRINGS series (starring an entire family of secret psychics), both bring you smart, funny, action-packed mysteries, where the relationships are just as much fun as the hunt for the killer.

In his parody self-help series, Rich, Skinny, and Super Spiritual!, Internet gazillionaire Alexio Fairfax and his ragtag band of loyal content producers get up to ridiculous hijinks (and land in serious hot water).

He also loves writing short fiction, such as his time-traveling steampunk romantic comedy “The Punctuality Machine”, the large-cast audio production of which was a finalist for the Parsec Award. You can read that and other stories in THE PUNCTUALITY MACHINE, And Other Tales of Time Dysfunction. His other story collections include CRAGS IN THE SUNSET (And Other Love Stories I Wrote in High School) and WAITING FOR PEROT (And Other Goofy Comedies I Wrote in High School). Several more collections are coming soon (which, like PUNCTUALITY, will feature pieces written a bit more recently).

When he’s not writing, you might see Bill wheeling around on his adult-size kick scooter (seriously, you have to try it), preferably along with one or more of his excessively adorable children. Whenever possible, he also name-checks his wife Beth, because if you think your favorite writers are amazing, you clearly have not yet met the spouses who put up with them. Thanks, Beth! (he says).

And thank you, Dear Reader, for actually reading this humble author bio. As a rule, we writers of author bios are not prone to vanity, but even we require the occasional solace of reflecting that our work has not wholly been in vain.

Happy reading! 📚
