ABOUT THE AUTHOR

WILLIAM MALTESE, an international best-selling author of non-fiction and fiction articles, short stories, and novels, including his popular Wildside Mystery Double, Incident at Aberlene and Incident at Brimzinsky (Spies & Lies #1-#2), has published (under various pseudonyms) over 200 books in genres ranging from straight mainstream, to straight and gay erotica, as well as mystery, romance, western, adventure, espionage, cooking, wine, young adults and children, plus twenty-four science fiction/fantasy/horror novels, beginning with Five Roads to Tlen in 1969 (as “William J. Lambert III”) through Bond-Shattering (2007). He’s anything but a newcomer by way of writing fictionalized autobiographies and biographies, including his Diary of a Hustler (with “Joey”), Slovakian Boy (with “Pavel”), Amen’s Boy (his exposé on sexual abuse in the Catholic Church, with Jacob Campbell), and his shocking Lambda-Award-nominated ARDENNIAN BOY (written with eminent gay scholar Professor Drewey Wayne Gunn) that raised more than a few eyebrows, while gleaning rave reviews, in its graphic portrayal of the scandalous literary and sexual relationship between the French poets Paul Verlaine and Arthur Rimbaud. For a comprehensive list of his literary output, see Draqualian Silk: A Collector’s and Bibliographical Guide to the Books of William Maltese, 1969-2010 (Borgo Press, 2010). Maltese enlisted in the U.S. Army, where he achieved and was honorably discharged with the rank of Sergeant (E-5).
