Bill Blume's love for the written word started back in high school with an addiction to comic books that was later hijacked by novels such as Frankenstein and Dragonflight. The first book in his young adult, vampire hunter series, Gidion's Hunt, was published back in 2013. His short stories have appeared in many anthologies and were published in 2015 by Diversion Books in his collection The Deadlands and Other Stories. Just like the father figure in his "Gidion Keep" novels, Bill has worked as a 911 dispatcher for more than two decades. He also spent ten years working as a board member for James River Writers.
