While his uncle John was a Marine, the man himself never served in Hong Kong and that is where W.W. blended his personal life into his first and by no means last novel. Having worked with a water treatment company, he travelled the globe and experienced life in the Middle East, Asia, Eastern Europe and Libya during Gaddafi's reign. Now retired in South East England, W. W's life could be considered bland after a lifetime of treachery and skullduggery within the cutthroat world that is water treatment. Many could assume such an industry to be boring and dull; however W.W.'s career has been full and rich with experiences; some of which he has integrated into his novel. Blood Will Out is filled with the intrigue that was W.W.'s life combined with that of a Marine and an elite marksman no less, serving in the pressure-cooker environment that was Hong Kong after the war.
