Bill Runner is the author of thirteen books in the bestselling Axel Blaze thriller series. After the successful debut of Blaze Returns, each subsequent book reached #1 in Amazon’s Crime Action Fiction or Military Thriller charts. By the end of 2025, combined sales for the series have touched half a million copies.Before turning to writing, Bill was an investigative reporter—a background that brings authenticity, depth, and a keen eye for detail to his stories. His love for classic Westerns and lone ranger heroes profoundly influenced the creation of Axel Blaze, a character who stands up against injustice no matter the odds.
Bill is an experienced mountain climber and a lifelong martial arts student. His extensive physical training and years on the crime beat help him craft action scenes that are realistic, vivid, and exhilarating.
