Born in Virginia of Pennsylvanian parents, William Albert Baldwin ("Bill") had lived in Japan and Germany by the time he was twenty. Trained as a mathematician and physicist, he has been writing since he was fourteen. He has written poetry, novellas, stories and plays. He has created Unitarian worship services and Pagan ritual dramas. Bill contributes to several monthly newsletters, and his work appears from time to time in Loving More magazine. His writing reflects his interest in relationships, sexuality, science, and human rights. He tries to present sexual, cultural and religious themes in a way that is non-sensational, non-threatening and compassionate. He has been prominent for several years in the California Writers Club. He is also a Wiccan priest. He facilitates a monthly discussion group on polyamory, a local Amnesty International group, and something approximating a Pagan congregation. Bill lives with his wife and daughter in Sunnyvale, California. In addition to writing, he enjoys music (classical, jazz, Broadway, rock) and dancing (Folk, English, Contra). He is currently at work on a novel. Bill won Third Prize in the 2000 Sacramento CWC Short Story Contest for his story, "Love's Children".
