On The Road To Damascus

William was born in Halifax, West Yorkshire, England in 1948 and attended a local Grammar School, until he began his legal studies at Leeds University in 1967, where he successfully obtained a Law Degree in 1970. He later qualified as a solicitor, running his own practice for over twenty-five years, before retiring in 2002 to concentrate on a literary career. During his time as practicing lawyer, William became a respected criminal advocate, dealing with several high profile cases, which have provided him with plenty of real life material to form the backbone of his fiction writing. His latest venture into the literary world has resulted in his moving away from crime fiction to writing a historical cum religious novel entitled ON THE ROAD TO DAMASCAS.
