If I continue trying to work it becomes slow and unproductive, so usually I do chores around the house and yard, or run errands while listening to Status Quo at full volume.

There ARE times when I've written a book as far as I can for the time being and have to let my sub-conscious work things out. I guess if I was only working on one book at a time that would become writer's block.(less)

I've always had a thing for the underdog, for people facing impossible odds but somehow fighting through to victory. Those two scenes were like that, mini-movies of two disconnected scenes. In September of 2014, I felt compelled to write them down, kind of like these guys were screaming at me to let them out of my head!

That's when I found out the scenes were part of a larger narrative. The characters began telling me their story, and in 45 years of writing that has NEVER happened before. (less)

Quotes by William Alan Webb  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“In those far off days, legendary folk trod the glory road of sharp steel and high adventure.”
― William Alan Webb, Sharp Steel: Sharp Steel and High Adventure Volumes 1-3

“If you had to explain why the four major services could never work together,” Fleming said, “it’s because they all speak a different language. For example, if you needed to secure a building, the Navy would turn off the lights and lock the doors. The Air Force would sign a long-term lease or buy it outright. The Army would occupy the building and forbid entry to anyone else. And the Marines would assault the building and defend it to the death with suppressing fire and artillery support.”
― William Alan Webb, Standing in the Storm

“For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them.” Aristotle”
― William Alan Webb, Task Force Zombie: The Nameless

― John-Patrick Scott

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
