Bill Shuey was born in 1943. He grew up on a cattle farm in rural Missouri.

He spent twenty years in the United States Air Force, worked as a quality control supervisor on nuclear power plants, served as a project manager for lignite power-plant renovations, and built businesses of his own along the way.

He has since sold his business holdings and now lives along the banks of the St. Johns River in Central Florida. When he isn't traveling the highways and byways of America — in his motorhome or on book-signing tours — or sitting behind a word processor, he can be found in his bass boat. He lives with Gloria, his wife of many years.


Shuey is the author of more than seventy-five books. They run the gamut from Bible and Quran commentaries to murder mysteries. He has written more than thirty western novels. Based on his background in the military, his latest project is a series of books on the fictional character Allen Stevens — The Problem Solver. The twelve-book series is completed and examines the world of espionage, assassination, and political corruption.

Shuey has a unique writing style that allows him to act as an observer of the action taking place. He describes what he sees without profanity or explicit sexual descriptions. He manages to weave factual detail into his stories without interrupting the flow of the action. He has traveled the areas mentioned in his books and draws on those visual images when setting a scene.

To date, he has written 75+ books, with three more in the works. Shuey is an Associate member of the Western Writers' Association. He is a Robert Hanlon award winner for writing excellence and has written three bestselling western books.

"If you like fast-moving books which can be read without having to filter out vulgarity, tolerate meaningless fill, and receive a dose of reality in the process — Shuey's books are for you."
