Author Biography

William March, born William Edward Campbell, endured a challenging upbringing marked by frequent relocations due to his father's occupation in the timber business. Despite facing financial constraints, March nurtured his passion for music, drama, and writing. He left school at a young age to work and save money, eventually pursuing higher education at Valparaiso University and the University of Alabama. Following his service in World War I, where he experienced both physical and psychological wounds, March embarked on a successful career with the Waterman Steamship Company while also delving into writing as a means of personal therapy. He published his notable works under the pen name Willam March and eventually settled in New York City before returning to Mobile and ultimately residing in New Orleans until his passing in 1954.
