Bill Sanderson

I am an accountant and a husband and father of four boys who likes to write Christian-friendly romances.

I grew up in a small town in northern Canada where there were a large number of characters and a constantly changing population.Being able to observe and assess people was an essential skill for small town life.

My mother taught me to read when I was four so she could get the housework done. My father taught me how to tell stories and my wife and sons have taught me the value of love.

My Christian faith informs my writing in many ways. The good guys model proper behaviour and limit themselves to kisses before marriage. Alcohol use is social and moderate, foul language is rare and gambling is not done - at least by Christians. For the bad guys, there are no limits to their language but unchaste behaviour is implied, not described.

While I grew up on a steady diet of science fiction and fantasy, it was my knowledge of small town characters and love of happy endings that steered me in the direction of writing romance.

My wife is still waiting for my first science fiction book and my teens are waiting for a sword and sorcery book. It may be a while.
