Bill Andres received his degree in business at the University of Tennessee in 1977. His education was interrupted when he was blinded in a car accident during his third year. Strengthened by his faith and encouraged by his family, he returned to his college studies and, several years later, he graduated from the Northern Illinois University School of Law. Over the next several years, he explored opportunities in law and business before finally seeking out his true calling, a career in teaching. For twenty-three years, Bill Andres remained in the classroom of the same middle school in California. After retirement from the classroom, he began writing his first historical novel, A Greater Vengeance. He has now completed five more stories within this extended saga: Benton's Thunder, The Weight of Death, Phantom Wind, Death's Fury, and Matlock Rides.He lives in Loudon, Tennessee with his wife Sally.
