Hey there!
I’m really humbled and excited that you’ve found your way to my website. Maybe you’re here because you read the back flap of the book Holding Someday. Maybe you’re here because you dropped your phone in the toilet and now it’s glitching. (Get that checked out, maybe? Your call.) Whatever the case, I hope your time on this page is fulfilling, and if there’s anything I can personally help with please check out the contact section at the bottom of this page.
Thank you for being you,
W.R. Ponder
Fiction Story
Half-buried in the melting heart of Florida lies a town teetering on the fault line between imagination and disbelief, where fantasy intersects with savagery. A town of citrus and sulfur, of paradise and parasites, whose body of land swings in a noose between the Lake of Glass and the River Styx. The town is Donn Angelos.
About Me
I really don’t like talking about myself, but since you’re asking:
I got into writing when I was 15 years old. I had a creative writing class and quickly became addicted. I don’t have any formal training in writing beyond that but I got a masterclass in storytelling by sitting at my grandparents dining table and listening to my Pawpaw share about his life. He was spellbinding, and I’m sorry you didn’t get a chance to meet him.
I enjoy writing multiple genres because I get bored very easily. I give any and all credit for anything good that I’ve written to my savior Jesus. Pretty much every time I sit down to write I pray, “I can’t do this Lord. You have to help me.” And He always does.
I have three children here, and one in heaven. They’re awesome. I have a wonderful wife who isn’t just my better half but my better three-quarters. Everything I write I show her because I love and respect her opinion. She’s usually right about things. And, fun fact, most things that I write are for her.
My favorite color is that neon pink blue-ish color that no one can quite picture in their brains. I enjoy cooking, especially smoking and grilling, but not really the cleaning up part. I’ve only ever lived in Florida, except for that time when I lived in London for a few years. I really like watching movies, which is a hobby I got into to avoid bullying when I was a kid. And my favorite books are The Call of the Wild, Great Gatsby, most things by Edgar Allen Poe, and the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
One last thing about me is that I’m passionate about using the gifts God has given me to bless and support others. That’s why whenever you buy one of my books the proceeds go to support some amazing organizations that are making the world a better place. If you’re curious where your money is going, check out these website below. Maybe you’d like to begin partnering with them directly after you hear their hearts:
