William Ritter

When William Ritter is not writing bestselling novels, he is educating high schoolers language arts in the state of Oregon (he also teaches them other things like reading, writing, heroes and mythology). He was taught by his parents to value creativity, intelligence, and individuality above all; when they would read stories to him, they always read with voices. While in college, at the University of Oregon, he chose to take classes so that he could have a great story to tell about taking the class, rather than any practical use that he could get out of it. Ritter took such classes in meaningful subjects like Seventeenth Century Italian Longsword, Juggling, and Trampoline. That being said, he regrets nothing and later got degrees in education and English with certifications in folklore and creative writing. He has two sons that are the bravest he could ask for and a wife that is an indomitable woman. On the flip side, there is a lot that is not known about his place of birth, but stories about his place of birth talk about him being born in Malta Catacombs or in Oregon.
