Biography

Bill Myers was born into a Christian home, and became bored with Christianity. To combat the boredom he decided at the University of Washington to make a promise to always say yes to God. Ironically, at the University his worst subject was writing. He prayed, and said that he would do anything for God, except write. He attended the Italian State Institute for Cinema and Television and began writing and directing several independent films. Later he began to write bestselling books and novels for children, teens, and adults in the inspirational market. To date his work has won over 70 national and international awards including the C.S. Lewis Honor Award.
His video series McGee and Me! is about a typically average, mild-mannered boy named Nicholas Martin, who has what appears to be an imaginary friend named McGee. The series chronicles the boy's various adventures, all ending with him learning a moral or spiritual lesson.
His children's book series "The Incredible Worlds of Wally McDoogle" has sold over 2.2 million books.
Myers also writes adult novels; his 2000 novel Eli presents the story of Jesus transposed to a contemporary setting.
To date he has authored over 125 books for children, teens and adults. He currently is president of Amaris Media International, a TV, film, and media production company.
