Temple Emmet Williams

Temple is a journalist nominated twice for a Pulitzer at the World-Telegram & Sun in NYC in 1964, for a 7-day, front-page series called "I Was A Subway Cop."

He is also an author, a publisher, and editor. His award-winning books include "Warrior Patient," a memoir, and three (of six) thrillers: "Wrinkled Heartbeats," "Poison Heartbeats," and "African Heartbeats."

He writes both non-fiction and fiction with humor and the quick, sharp punch of journalistic truth.

Temple was born in Cleveland, Ohio, and educated at Yale University. He is a Marine and an ex-NYC cop. He worked as an undercover, investigative reporter for the World-Telegram & Sun in New York City.

He was the Managing Editor of News/Check, an international news magazine in Africa, and then an Editor at the Reader’s Digest in the United States.

He worked as a copywriter at large ad agencies like Ogilvy & Mather and Leo Burnett. He was the Creative Director of the fifth largest ad agency in Great Britain, part of the KMP Group in London, England.

He lived in Africa for six years and in Europe almost as long. He and his wife, who is also his content editor, now live in Boca Raton, Florida.
