Mousejunkies! - About the Author

Bill Burke is a journalist with eighteen years experience in the newspaper and magazine business. A dyed-in-the-wool New Englander who recently came to the conclusion he hates the cold weather but can’t live without good fried clams, Bill spent portions of his childhood living in different parts of the country and traveling throughout the United States. His family then returned to the northeast where he remained until discovering the joy of having his meals served by adults dressed as fictional characters. Now he flees to the warm embrace of central Florida whenever time and finances allow. Or even if they won’t. After trying out a number of different career options ranging from installing concrete foundations and digging ditches to working as a bouncer at an oceanfront nightclub and selling sci-fi collectibles, he stumbled across journalism. In the ensuing years he has covered marathons and murders, and written everything from business features to comic book scripts. He has been a cops-and-courts reporter, written features, interviewed musicians and actors, and worked as a travel writer. He was the online managing editor for the Boston Herald for six of the eleven years he spent at that newspaper. Bill has been traveling to and writing about Walt Disney World for the past ten years. Bill plays bass guitar in a blues band, Irish music on the tenor banjo and mandolin, and bagpipes when he wants to annoy his wife of thirteen years. He has considered moving to Florida, but has been told that the state lacks good Chinese food. He lives in southern New Hampshire with his wife, Amy, and six-year-old daughter, Katie.
