In the early 90’s Will’s plane was shot down and as a result lost a leg and was discharged from the military.  He retired back to the Midwest to a small house overlooking a river valley.    As with all injured military, Will struggled to find a new life for himself.  His ability to retain and recall information and with his fascination in the rituals of other cultures especially with their openness to sex and sexual experiences pushed him to start to write.  Will decided to build a career as an author and self publisher.
