The Author: William Butler
William is an aspiring author who has penned the first three books of his five-part Young Adult Fantasy Romance series, My High School Odyssey. He started following his passion for writing after a seemingly silly statement from his daughter of “Follow your dream!”
Married to his High School sweetheart, and a Washington state resident, Will was raised in Phoenix Arizona and the son of a very artistic and creative family. Always fascinated with stories and storytelling, Will spent years playing Role-Playing games where he learned how to craft engaging, exciting stories, relatable characters, and rich, vibrant worlds.
Now he has put in the sweat and tears to crafting his first-ever series of books and hopes to bring his delightful stories to audiences world wide.
Character & Insert Art: Sarah Diaz (Threadwing)
One of the most inspirational an motivational tools I have used while on my journey of writing, was the decision to commission custom artwork to help me visualize my characters. While I initially worked with another artist, it was my collaboration with Sarah that truly captured the heart of my characters, with her breath-taking beautiful art.
Her work has kept me going at times when I considered quitting and helped to transform the words on the page into characters I love. I cannot recommend her highly enough as she was professional, responsive and unbelievably talented. I look forward to working with her in the future.
In addition to her character concept artwork, you can also find her work within my book, as she has produced three, full-page black and white illustrations.
Here’s some info for her if you would like to work with her:
Cover Art: Jeff Langevin
Death’s First Cover Art was created by the wonderfully talented Jeff Langevin.
Bringing his own vision and impressive talent forward, he helped me achieve my dream of a visually stunning, and intriguing book cover. He was able to take my rough, incomplete ideas and make them a reality with a polish and professionalism I couldn’t have imagined before working with him.
