Bibliography 

Below is a list of stuff Bill has done over the years. It is by no means exhaustive and there are gaps, notably in the early nineties when I know he worked in the Design Studio but have no way of substantiating a lot of the stuff  he did. I *have* tried though and  know for certain that during this period he produced a lot of colour text and articles for various Games Workshop products including White Dwarf .He also worked on both Man O'War and Warhammer Fantasy Battle 4th edition, collaborating on the High Elves and Undead Supplements aswell .  Oh and I also feel it's worth mentioning that he was the first person *ever* to lose to Jervis 'Master of Unlucky Dice Throw' Johnson in a White Dwarf Battle report. Now there's something to tell the grandkids! :)

Anyway, several people were kind enough to take up the challenge of helping me out and I'd just like to say a big thank you to the following Forum people for all the info on the Army book & Game stuff (added below and marked with an *). Step forward Aleeha Travis, Arne Dam, Andrew (Arulric) & Thallion_fire, and a particular mention must be given to Robert Clark:- for the service you have rendered, your names will now be noted in the Trollslayer Hall of Records for all eternity. Many thanks! 

I have tried my best to confirm the dates of publication but as there are a few conflicting sources,  these may not be completely accurate. If I've missed anything or got it wrong, I'd be grateful if you could point out the oversight and I will update accordingly. 

The charts on the below give a quick overview of his short stories and novels but more detailed information is listed under the relevant year in the section below that, so either use the year link (in brackets) or simply scroll down. Some of his old, non-GW short stories are available to read and are listed in the Fiction section
