William Rainbolt

William Rainbolt has created a versatile career in a variety of fields: reporting and writing in journalism; teaching at college and university levels; earning a doctorate in American history; publishing one historical novel set in Texas in 1836 and completing a second historical novel set in 1934 during the Great Depression; and serving in the U.S. Navy.

Bill’s first novel, Moses Rose: A Tale of the Alamo and Survivors, was published commercially in 1996 by Dan River Press, and was reissued as an eBook in 2016 available on Kindle, Nook, iBooks, Google Books, Kobo, and others. When first published, Moses Rose was described by The Dallas Morning News as an “imaginative tale in which Rose must deal with many different meanings of heroism, survival, loneliness, and love.”

Recently, Bill finished his second historical novel, The Killing of Hannah Doyle, a murder mystery set in the Depression Summer of 1934 and occurring primarily in the Lower Hudson Valley and Brooklyn. The Depression was one of Bill’s’ areas of interest for a doctorate in history.

A native of Texas, Bill has lived also in Turkey, Missouri, New Jersey, and New York, where he resides now in the Upper Hudson Valley.

William maintains memberships in The Authors Guild, Historical Novel Society, Spiritual Writing Network, and Spiritual Directors International.
