William L. Lavell
I was born and raised in Northern New Jersey.
“By day", I work as a supervisor at a transportation company that I’ve been with for the last 20 years.
In my free time, I write. With a lot of rewriting, a story that I wrote back in 1991 under a different title became my first novel, The Augustine Agenda, which I finally got published 2010. It was a quarter-finalist in the 2010 Amazon Breakthrough Novel contest, and also earned Honorable Mentions at the 2011 New England Book Festival and the 2011 London Book Festival.
In 2011, I followed it up with Escape From Argus, which was another adaptation of an older story. The Treos Dilemma, is my latest work, is all new material. It was published in February 2012.
My latest project is a fourth untitled chapter in the Vindicators series, which I’m hoping to have finished by the end of the year.
Right now I’m living in Central New Jersey with my wife Michele and my Mom. They’re my biggest admirers and my toughest critics.
