About this title

About the Author

Bill Harris was born in Savannah, Georgia, on April 7, 1947. He was educated in Savannah's Catholic schools and grew up during a time when the beauty, charm and history of Savannah were not known to the world as they are today. But young Bill recognized those qualities early on and used that knowledge to write his four novels, all set in Savannah. During his first year of college in 1966, Bill worked part-time as an emergency medical technician and experienced a life-altering circumstance as a result of that. While trying to extract a man from a burning auto, he came in contact with a high voltage wire and was so severely burned that he lost both legs and suffered severe damage to his face. It took two years of extensive surgery and rehab to recover, but in 1971 he graduated from Georgia State University in Atlanta and in 1975 received his Doctor of Podiatric Medicine degree from Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine in Philadelphia. He has practiced Podiatry in Savannah since 1977. Bill has been an avid boater since returning to Savannah and few people know the rivers, creeks and islands of Savannah better than he. It was during his numerous camping trips to some of those isolated islands that Bill received the inspiration for the novels he has written. He still goes to these islands with a group of his friends who call themselves John Wayne Adventure Camping. Bill is a member of the Hibernian Society of Savannah, the German Heritage Society of Savannah and L'Alliance France de Savannah to name a few. He is also a communicant at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist Church. Married to Pam Pedicini Harris for over 34 years, Bill has three married daughters and six grandchildren. He and Pam live on Dutch Island. Speak Nothing of the Dead But Good is his fourth novel, following the successful publication of Delirium of the Brave in 1998, No Enemy But Time in 2002 and Wassaw Sound in 2008.
