Biography
Rip William ~ Scribe
A Brief Resume.
Accountant, entrepreneur, musician, cook, are all hats that Rip William has worn at one time or another, however the love for expressing himself through writing has predominated, and now fully occupies his time.
Rip William writes stories that express his individual perception on matters, and where the desire for a less selfish and more compassionate world resonates. He uses a crisp conversational tone and while his views may challenge some people’s concepts, Rip attempts to provoke thought and not antipathy. All completed novels have been written with a view to adding further exploits in time.
When William is not working on his novels, music plays an important part in his life, whether singing, (often at the top of voice and off key), playing guitar, piano, or simply listening to recorded music. He enjoys cooking for his family and whenever possible travelling with them to foreign lands.
With his partner of more than twenty years Rip William lives in an idyllic part of Australia. He is father to Capucine and Bella Montique, two black and white cats.
