William Brinkman is the creator of the Bolingbrook Babbler web series and is currently working on his first novel, The Rift: A Bolingbrook Babbler Story. He is currently a member of the Freethought Blogs network and has been involved in secular advocacy over the years.
He's also a former contributor to White Wolf's Demon: The Fallen series. Additionally, William has also written science fiction works since grade school. As a student at the University of Iowa, William majored in journalism and took as many creative writing classes as his schedule allowed. After graduation, he served as an editor at two alternative publications. These experiences later helped him start the Babbler web series in 1998.
His work has been praised by Bolingbrook residents and within the atheist/skeptical community. William is probably one of the few critics of former Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar who didn't get exiled to Florida.
