WILLIAM E BURLESON
AUTHOR, EDITOR, PUBLISHER
“...Damon Runyon for the 21st century...”
“…humor, humility, and a surefire helluva ride.”
“Ahnwee Days is this season’s funniest, most tender-hearted novel... ”
Burleson is the author of three books. Rory’s Not That Guy: And Other Tales from Middle America (2026 Blackwater Press) is a short story collection that takes the reader on a tour of “flyover country,” from struggling small towns to honky-tonks to the parts of cities that don’t make it onto postcards. Ahnwee Days (2025 Blackwater Press) is a novel about a small town that has seen better days and the mayor who tries to save it. And in non-fiction, Bi America:Myths, Truths, and Struggles of an Invisible Community (2005 Haworth Press), takes the reader inside a community that is both huge and usually ignored.
