ⓘ About William Ritter
When William Ritter is not writing bestselling novels, he is educating high schoolers language arts in the state of Oregon (he also teaches them other things like reading, writing, heroes and mythology). He was taught by his parents to value creativity, intelligence, and individuality above all; when they would read stories to him, they always read with voices. While in college, at the University of Oregon, he chose to take classes so that he could have a great story to tell about taking the class, rather than any practical use that he could get out of it. Ritter took such classes in meaningful subjects like Seventeenth Century Italian Longsword, Juggling, and Trampoline.
