About the author
William Pickrel
36 books1 followerWilliam Pickrel writes the Unseen Truth series — clean Christian supernatural suspense where the spiritual world is as real and present as the one we can see.
His favorite books have always been spiritual thrillers with strong, driving storylines — and he writes the way he reads. After the death of his father, a retired pastor, in October of 2025, Bill put his thirty-plus years of storytelling to work, carrying on his father's message of hope. He writes from a simple conviction: that a story can reach a heart in places a sermon can't. His novels move fast and keep you turning pages, but underneath every one is a question about faith, doubt, and what lasts. He writes for the reader who wants to be gripped — and maybe, quietly, changed.
William also writes the Smidge series for children. He lives and writes in the mountains
of Western Maryland.
He does not only write supernatural suspense. Enough to Cover Us is a family story that runs from 1943 to 2011, held together by a quilt sewn from a soldier's uniform and his wife's wedding dress. It is quieter than the Unseen Truth books, and it is about the things families never get around to saying out loud.
