About William R. Soldan
William R. Soldan graduated with his BA in English from Youngstown State University and currently studies Fiction Writing in the Northeast Ohio MFA program, He’s the grateful husband of an amazing woman named Rebecca Jane and the obnoxiously proud father of a baby boy named Spencer Thomas. He’s previously had work published in The Raw Alternative, Quail Bell, Danse Macabre, Sanitarium, and has a story forthcoming in The Fictioneer. This is his first scholarly publication.
William enjoys good books, bad movies, lifting very heavy things over his head, and consuming dangerously high quantities of caffeine—among other ridiculous things. You can follow him on Twitter @RustWriter1 (though he’s new to the tweeting game) or find him on Facebook (as Bill Soldan).
