William D. Skees:

Bill is the author of four books on computer technology; a collection of Southern short stories, poems and essays entitled A Blush of Maidens, A Foolishness of Old Men; and the Rayanne, Noor and Sandy mystery series, including volume I, Death Picks a Blue Palette. The second volume in the mystery series, Death In Aquamarine, is scheduled for publication in 2008.

Bill has degrees in mathematics and psychology with minors in English and history, and just missed getting a doctorate in Machine Learning/Artificial Intelligence by one dissertation. He occasionally teaches math, statistics and English at Colorado Mountain College in Steamboat Springs.

Bill's career includes computer programming; international consulting with assignments in Russia, Brazil, the U.K., Mexico, Poland and Italy; fine art photography and painting; and professional sailboat delivery, primarily on the East Coast and in the Caribbean. His fashion and pregnant nude photographs were included in the 2005 Artists Tour of North Routt County. His drawings and paintings are currently exhibited at his studio and local art spaces in and around Placitas, New Mexico.
