Edmonds writer and former Olympics volleyball coach William “Bill” Neville released his first novel this year. The book started as a bedtime story he told his children over 30 years ago. As he spun the story that ultimately became “The Vision,” Neville realized it deserved a wider audience.

According to Neville, “The Vision” is about a young boy, Eagle Who Broke His Wing, who has a vision. Elders want to discredit the boy’s family and accuse him of lying.  Over four time periods – 1794, 1910, 1946 and the 1960s – the lie becomes more than anyone expects, profoundly affecting the boy, the Crow Indian Nation, and the future.

“The Vision” is available on Amazon in hardcover and e-book.
