About the Author

Bill Stewart brings a unique blend of rigorous discipline and relentless curiosity to his writing. A former Marine Auditor with an impressive 42-year career at sea that saw him rise from Boy Seaman to respected Marine Auditor/Marine accident/incident Lead investigator. 

Bill possesses a deep-seated skill for identifying systemic flaws and uncovering hidden details – abilities honed through decades of high-stakes assessment and analysis. Now a full-time independent author and publisher, he channels this expertise into the realm of Factual Fiction, indulging his love for the detective work inherent in piecing together complex historical narratives. 

Bill Stewart spent over four decades at sea, rising from boy seaman to naval auditor and marine accident investigator. He’s witnessed storms, disasters, and shipwrecks first hand — experiences that forged his meticulous, investigative approach to storytelling.

Today, Bill turns that investigator’s eye to true crime and historical mysteries, uncovering forgotten murders and unsolved cases from history’s shadows. His books blend deep research with human insight, giving voice to stories long buried in dusty archives and cold case files.

Based on the Scottish coast, Bill writes with tea at hand and the sea on his doorstep — still chasing answers to history’s darkest questions.

With twenty five independently published books to his name, Bill Stewart continues to explore compelling stories often missed by the mainstream. Discover more about his work and delve into his extensive catalogue of titles at https://billysbookclub.com.
