William J. Archer

I've certainly been accused of being... let's say... unhinged by almost everyone I've spent more than three days with. As far as writing goes, I tend to have a natural affinity for dark humour, thought-provoking short stories, wild, free-form stream-of-consciousness adventures, and gonzo-ish or very opinionated editorial pieces.

 

My ruthless honesty can sometimes cut deep, but I never seem to fall short as an entertainer/communicator. The few friends I do have say they value my straightforwardness very highly.

 

In the fairly short time I've been on this planet, I've managed to accrue quite the varied list of experiences. And I'm not done yet.

 

I've been a coastal logger, flown all over BC and Alberta, Canada, in helicopters, worked in oil and gas for 15+ years, and framed well over one-hundred houses. Much of the time, these undertakings were experienced during brutal winters in remote areas of  the frozen north.

 

I'm not at all ashamed to admit that I'm a bit of an adrenaline junky, and I've been bungee-jumping, skydiving, white-water rafting, and broken my bones dirt-biking. I've lived in the Costa Rican jungle, driven the entirety of Albania, climbed more mountains than I can count, and sailed up and down the Pacific coast of Canada.

 

I also enjoy archery, motorsports, hockey and football (soccer), cooking, music, and tattooing myself. Currently, I'm writing all the time and traveling around the world with my lovely wife.
