BILL HARVEY

I am an ordinary sort of a guy with with a rather extra-ordinary history --not
an exceptional nor even admirable history, but I have seen some stuff and it
informs my writing. To get through the old resume as quickly as possible:
carpenter, stock broker, teacher, woodworker and finally retired / writer.

Rather than nattering on about the wheres and whens of my life, permit me to
tell you about the other writers I consider old friends. First is C. S Forester
and his HORNBLOWER novels about the British Navy during the Napoleonic Wars.
This indirectly lead to my second and third books, (dictionaries actually)
VICEROYS, VICARS, AND VERGERS: BRITISH ENGLISH FOR READERS and a toned-down
version for students.

Then we have all of Mark Twain, but in particular ROUGHING IT which described
the boon and bust of the Comstock Silver Panic. Thru some more confusing steps,
and no little personal pain due to the Denver petroleum bust in the early 80’s,
we get to my first book WILLISTON: MANCAMP about the boom and bust of the North
Dakota fracking boom. It may -or may not- become a 3 or 4 part series.  This 
writing touches on the third author I admire.  William Sumerset Maugham is a
master at developing characters. I don't compare myself to Maugham, but I do
try.  

Finally the simple need to feed myself, lead the my 4th book THE ENGINEER’S
COOKBOOK.

Viceroys and Vicars: British English for Students

A lighthearted dictionary of ‘Briticisms’ to help the student understand and
enjoy all that is confusing in British Literature. Some topical bits of British
history is also useful. Viceroys and Vicars has just enough entertaining
history. There are also suggestions for movies and TV to help the student really
get the picture of period writing.
