Autorenporträt

Behold, R. William Penne, the man who has singlehandedly proven that there's more to construction management than meets the eye! R. William Penne, or Ronald William Penne if he's in trouble with his mom, isn't just an author; he's a storyteller who found himself with an abundance of time and an even greater abundance of tales itching to be told.

Born in the rugged coal region areas of Pennsylvania during the 1980sa time when men were men, coal was coal, and fashion was a question best left unansweredPenne grew up steeped in an atmosphere thick with history and the lingering echoes of a bygone industrial era. This magical time, when The Goonies and Ender's Game reigned supreme, left an indelible mark on young Ronald, sparking a lifetime fascination with stories that span the breadth of time and imagination.

So, what does a strapping young lad from Pennsylvania do with a head full of dreams and a heart yearning for adventure? He moves to New Jersey, of course! It's there, amidst the chaos of construction management and the occasional foray into piracy (of the accent variety), that Penne crafts tales that capture his wide array of interestsfrom the historic to the hysterical, all without putting down his beloved hammer.

His literary repertoire includes 'Til Death Do Us Part, a poignant exploration of life, legacy, and the power of redemption. Wander Dog takes readers on a tail-wagging adventure with a loyal boxer dog whose devotion knows no bounds. Echoes of Time dives into a future governed by AI, where two friends discover a cave with the power to slow time itself. And let's not forget Coal Mines to Baseball Diamonds, a heartfelt tribute to Penne's roots, blending the grit of coal mining with the grace of America's pastime.

Now, Penne is back with The Speed of Time: Echoes of Tomorrow, Whispers from the Past. Consider this his second swing at the themes that captivated him in Echoes of Timea narrative redux that holds true to the original vision while ironing out the kinks of the first attempt. This return to Coaldale is not just a journey back in time; it's a correction course set with the precision of a well-aimed fastball.
