ABOUT ME

Picture

William Kuhns has published 18 books of nonfiction and fiction. His nonfiction accents themes of media and technology. His novels are thrillers, his short stories fantasies. Kuhns is an energetic walker, a voracious reader, a consummate haunter of used bookstores, and an avid pool player. He confesses to addictions: sharp movies; well-written streaming TV series; donuts; pretzels; and his partner Bev’s homemade chicken soup.
