William Ennis is not my name. I write under this name to pay homage to my Grandpa, a WWII veteran and author who never published his work. The name also honors my wife's Grandpa who, I've gathered from anecdotes and reminisces, was really something. I am the proud father of three amazing children, the husband of a wonderful wife, the companion of two iffy dogs and the aspiring grower of nourishing vegetables and hot peppers. The veggies are often as recalcitrant as my children are wont to be, growing or not on their whims despite my wishes and influences. When I write, I try to entertain young minds, introduce new words and present stories that won't bore parents completely to death. I hope you will examine my work to see if I have been successful.
