William R. Dudley
Biography
William R. Dudley, “Will” to his friends, was born and raised in the Midlands of England.
After a career totally involved with words and communication, first as a teacher of English and then as a producer, journalist and editor for the BBC, retirement finally gave him the time to achieve a long-held ambition and turn his hand to writing fiction.
‘The Janus Enigma’ is his first novel.
He plays golf excruciatingly badly, guitar only moderately badly, cooks very well — or so he’s told — well, nobody's died yet — reads and writes.
His chief passion is for books. He has a deep and abiding love and admiration for the works of Raymond Chandler, John le Carré, John Connolly, James Sallis and Elmore Leonard, to name but a few from a pantheon of many.
His love of Science Fiction comes from an early acquaintance with the works of Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke and Philip K. Dick, which later blossomed into an abiding addiction to Ian M. Banks, Joe Haldeman and many others.
He also loves English Metaphysical and Romantic poetry, Shake¬speare, theatre, old movies, Country music and good whisky.
He lives with his long-suffering wife, beneath the magnificent Malvern Hills in Worcestershire.
