Autorenporträt

I am William C. Oakes, my name for Non-fiction. I am also using William Charles Oakes for Biblical-historical fantasy and Will Young-Oakes for Christian Western. You can call me Bill. I am in my 70s and have lived a unique life, just as you have. I married my high school sweetheart, Marcie, in 1972. We have two exceptional children, Sarah Oakes Wasson and K. Ian Oakes. And we have four equally amazing grandchildren.

Other than as a husband, father, and grandfather, I would say, Christian, Falconer, Writer, Pastor / Bible Teacher, IT Project Manager, and Army Veteran. I hold a Bachelor of Science degree and a Master of Theology degree. I am an ordained minister.

I first wanted to write books when I was thirteen. The first books that caught my interest were about Tom Swift and the Hardy Boys. They inspired me. I mainly wrote science fiction until a few years ago. I sold none of it! I then formed a publishing business out of my house, Eaglewing Publishing, and helped several aspiring Christian authors to get into print.

I now write Christian books, both fiction/fantasy and non-fiction, under a new ministry, Throne & Talon Publishing.

The book True Faith was a surprise to me. I had a terminal liver disease that kept me from writing for the past several years. But I woke up one Sunday with the entire outline for this book in my head. It only took a week to get it on Amazon; it is a short book after all. The editing and formatting took the most time. I had forgotten how to use MS Word!

There are many more titles in my Christian Short-Reads collection, all available on Amazon.

I write these fantasy novels with a keen interest in Biblical and Historical accuracy. But don't fact-check me. It is fiction, after all. Just like the Bible, there are miracles, angels, mighty men of God, and giants. As well as evil and powerful enemies. If you're interested in this type of reading, please consider exploring the series. You can obtain the first book as a single long novel or as four e-novellas.

You can find all my books on Amazon. I hope, above all, that my books will encourage, challenge, and delight readers in their walk with Jesus Christ. It's all about Him!
