Historical fiction and time-traveling adventures that linger long after the stories end

Discover William Auman’s richly imagined prose, where strange characters, magical landscapes and tales of adventure collide in unforgettable storytelling.

A leather-bound novel manuscript titled “William Auman – Collected Works” rests open on a dark walnut writing desk, its cream pages dense with crisp black text and red editorial marks. A vintage brass fountain pen lies diagonally across the margin, with a small ink bottle nearby catching the light. Behind, a neatly stacked pile of hardback books with minimalist spines suggests an award-winning bibliography. Soft afternoon light from an unseen window grazes the scene, creating gentle highlights on the leather grain and subtle shadows between the pages. Photographic realism, shot at eye level with a shallow depth of field that blurs the background shelves, conveying a professional, contemplative mood suitable for a celebrated novelist’s official website.

Hot off the press!

“A page turner to the end, loved the conversational tone and descriptive writing by the author.” Karen T.

“A fascinating legal story with authentic local color.” Fred B.

“Auman testifies–he poignantly weaves local history into this tale. The characters are rich and varied and confirm the maxim that truth is stranger than fiction.” Kyle B.

“A superb book, engaging, easy to read and educational. I found it almost impossible to put down as the suspense builds until the end. Jerry M.
