Much like the Founders, William has always had a fascination and penchant for the written word. William began writing short stories when he was in high school, often contributing submissions to the school newspaper and literary magazine. Despite his love of writing, Mr. Howard ended up teaching for the School District of Philadelphia for twenty years before retiring in 2012 to devoting more time to writing. William Howard has gone on to write three sci-fi novels and is beginning work on a fourth novel, which will be a sequel to the Sword of Aeschylean, as well as a new original novel outside the Minerva-verse. He often participates in meetings with fellow writers in a number of writer groups. When William is not writing, he enjoys reading, traveling and spending time with his wife, Bonnie.view less
