Bill Towner is a retired geologist. He spent 40 years in the desert with the scoundrels and thieves of the oil patch. Now he reads, writes and paints while blocking robocalls and smoking fine cigars. He is under no delusion that Washington DC is real, or really important. If you're looking for something political, you will likely find it at the airport bookstore. He lives with his wife, Cherie, and their rare dog, Nash, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Cherie and Bill have a boatload of grandchildren that Bill finds terrifyingly amusing.
