About the author

W. M. Akers is a novelist, playwright, and game designer. Publisher and author biographies describe him as the author of Westside, Westside Saints, Westside Lights, Critical Hit, and To Kill a Cook.

His work ranges from mystery fiction to tabletop games, and he has also been described as the curator of the history newsletter Strange Times. Across those projects, he seems to enjoy mixing playful ideas with strong narrative hooks.

Available biographical notes say he lives in Philadelphia and has roots as a Mets fan, a small detail that adds to the approachable, offbeat persona that comes through in his public author profiles.
