Affiliations: Florida Writers Assoc. Daytona Writers Group Port Orange Scribes.
As minister, missionary and educator, William G. Collins has been fascinated by history and its relationship to the Bible. A history major, he received his M.A. degree in education from Loyola University in Chicago, and has continued Graduate studies in Old Testament cultures at Candler School of Theology at Emory University in Atlanta. His studies have helped his understanding of the ancient world. His one aim in writing about the past has been to bring to life those figures of the past.
Born in Royal Oak Michigan, he was a pastor in Michigan, and Illinois before becoming a High School principal of a Boarding School in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. He and his family served there for ten years, Upon returning to the United States, he and his wife served as pastors and administrative leaders in Kansas and Missouri, Mississippi, Florida and Georgia.
From Atlanta, he and his wife returned to the “other’ Congo for four years in the Republic of the Congo, Brazzaville as church administrators. He has visited Egypt and the Middle East many times, and those journeys only convinced him to begin writing about the magnificent figures he had seen carved on the dusty walls of temples and tombs.
He lives in Port Orange Florida with his wife Evangeline.
