An American Buddha

William Hrdina started writing in college in 1998 (at the ripe old age of 24). Since then, he’s completed 28 novels and over 150 short stories. His work is available in good ’ol fashioned paper copies, ebook or audiobook formats. If you like, for a fee (and expenses) he’ll follow you around and read one of his books to you personally. A midwestern guy from Chicago, William earned philosophy and religion degrees from Indiana University along with minors in cognitive science, sociology, theater and film. With his highly practical degrees in hand, William went into the workforce, writing at night and after work. After a varied career at the University of Chicago, William moved with his wife and animal children to the Northwest in October of 2012. Over his prolific nearly 20 year career, William Hrdina has written novels, screenplays, radio dramas, audiobooks and short stories in the genres of Fiction, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Young Adult, Satire, Humor, Religion, Adventure, Suspense, Horror, Murder Mystery and even a Western. His short audio stories have been played on NPR stations around the country. Occasionally, he can be found hocking his books on Phish lot and at music festivals. He continues to write every day.
