William J. Goyette has worked as a copywriter in the corporate world for more than twenty years, using his love of words to inspire, influence, and entertain. His first novel, In Our Blood, introduced Detective Jake Hawksworth, and Phobia is the next installment in the Hawksworth mystery series.

This Guy Walks Into a Bar is William’s first standalone thriller. He is currently immersed in his next project, Little Red Herrings, a murder mystery set at a remote writers' retreat.

A native of Massachusetts, he is married with two daughters. When he's not lost in his fictional world, William is traveling the world with his wife, spending quality time with his daughters, or rolling around on the ground with his cockapoo Maddie.
