A.L. Williams is a prolific writer of both stories and songs. In 1985, his sweetheart, Kathy Ratzburg, and he started a band called One Lane Bridge to showcase their original music.
A.L. Williams had always been interested in the saga of John Dillinger. Intrigued by the theory that Dillinger was not the man killed in Chicago by the FBI, he began two years of research into the subject. At a book signing he told Vickie Weaver, a high-school classmate and published author, of this research. Vickie encouraged him to write a book about it. His first effort, Hey There, Johnny Dillinger, was never published, but it did get him interested in the art and magic of writing books.
Finally in 2021 his very dark story,
Satan's Guitar, garnered the attention of and was accepted by the publisher Austin Macauley for printing.
His debut pits a bass player named Marshall King against the Devil's own evil instrument. A 1963 Gibson ES-335 guitar.
It is not of major importance, but Mr. Williams has shared his life with nine cats and seven dogs.
