...Manchee writes an intelligent, suspenseful, complex, and highly readable tale, which confirms him as a wordsmith of the first order. Cliff Hunter, Crescent Blues

William Manchee could be Dallas' answer to John Grisham. Manchee, an author who has maintained a private law firm in Dallas since 1975, recently published Brash Endeavor, a page-turning tale of a small-time lawyer in over his head with some big-time clients. --- The Dallas Observer, Fall 1998

"Settle down to a good mystery from an excellent writer. I became a fan of William Manchee with his novel Plastic Gods... With a multitude of well-crafted sub-plots and a writing style that keeps the reader glued to the book, William Manchee has really crafted a masterpiece of mystery...." Harold McFarland

Continuing the space adventures of the son of his top rate detective Stan Turner (see Disillusioned and Act Normal), William Manchee provides a strong Tarizon science fiction military thriller (see Liberator and Civil War) as the war goes off-planet. Fast-paced and loaded with action, fans will appreciate Conquest Earth as Cystrom takes up the mantle of his late dad... Harriet Klausner Genre Go Round Reviews

What makes the Stan Turner Mysteries unique is they were inspired by actual cases of mine from the past. I was fortunate to have survived many of these events and felt compelled to share my experiences with others. Each book features three stories interwoven throughout the book from the perspectives or Stan, his partner or associates. This is done so that you find yourself stepping right into the shoes of the lawyers in the firm and feel the same emotions they experience as they try to deal with their clients’ extreme legal challenges.  
My writing style is a bit unique as well. I let the characters do most of the story-telling and let the reader size them rather than forcing my opinion on you. My objective is to bring you non-stop action, excitement and suspense. And at the end of the day you may be exhausted from all the drama and anxiety, but hopefully you’ll also have experienced the relief and satisfaction that attorneys feel when the jury returns with a favorable verdict.

What looks like a cathedral suddenly begins to emerge from the sands of the Mojave Desert. Scientists believe it is a natural phenomenon but a local religious leader insists it is a sign from the Lord of the Second Coming of Christ.
How it all began.

Bill's college days at UCLA provided the inspiration for his first novel, originally called Twice Tempted. He changed the name when he discovered the title had been used by other authors after Twice Tempted came out. Yes, he did walk into a bank and found the vault left open, not once, but twice!
