Bill K. Underwood

Bill K. Underwood is a columnist, speaker and photographer. He wrote the column "Signs of the Times" at Examiner.com for many years, looking at current events in the light of biblical prophecy. He still posts the occasional new column at biblefriendlybooks.com. He is the author of 3 novels - The Minotaur Medallion, about the apostle Paul's ill-fated voyage to Rome detailed in Acts 27, Resurrection Day, about life after Armageddon, and Unbroken, about the first horses coming to North America in the 1500s, which won the "Readers Favorite" 5-star award in 2019. His latest book is the non-fiction 99 Ways to Fire Your Boss. Why would a novelist decide to author a self-help book? "Years ago I began 'collecting' interesting, little-known jobs people did," he says. "With the current college-debt crisis, I finally decided to put them into a book. I can't imagine that high schools, colleges and Hollywood purposely conspired to teach people that higher education was the only way to success. But even if that path made sense in the fifties or sixties, it certainly doesn't today." Bill has spent far more of his spare time over the past 50 years studying biblical archaeology and biblical Greek than a degree would have required, and written far more than any thesis. He grew up in Bend, Oregon, then moved to the east coast where he spent a large portion of his life in New York City and Worcester, Massachusetts. He and his wife currently live in Mesa, Arizona, where he is working on his next novel.
