· William Hatfield was born in a small town in northern Michigan. He attended Western Michigan University, earning a B.S. in History and Communications. He worked in bookstores and as a professional musician to pay most of his bills through his years in school. Musical engagements led him to Gainesville, Florida in 1979. He had every intention of moving to the coast as soon as possible, but still lives there to this day with his wife and two feline daughters. Rumor has it, he may have grown up, but it seems unlikely. William published his first science fiction novel, Captive Audience, in 2004, and Duel Roles is the sequel. They are the first two installments in his "Fists of Earth" series. Key Notes, a collection of short stories from across the spectrum of genres, came out in the spring of 2012. Although science fiction is in his roots, 2012 also saw publication of Menu for Murder, a quirky mystery based in Key West. Although labeled a mystery, Menu for Murder is really more of a 'coming of age' story of two young women in love, making it a candidate to be considered a LGBT story. William relishes the opportunity to create interesting and challenging characters that never cease to amuse and surprise him with their inherent independence.
