Not Everything Is Murder
(But Sometimes It Is.)
Former Creative Director at some of Madison Avenue’s most prestigious ad agencies, Bill Krieger has created campaigns for HBO, Time Warner, and other cultural powerhouses. Along the way, he’s come to know the morally murky world where power, image, and manipulation collide — and it shows in every story he tells.
Like his novels, his short fiction blurs the line between guilt and survival, truth and self-deception, with layered, character-driven storytelling. From New York’s alleys and ad agencies to quieter corners of the human mind, his stories turn a cold eye on people who think they’re in control — until they’re not. A lifelong New Yorker — no matter how far he roams — Krieger writes with an eye for humanity’s contradictions: its beauty and brutality, ambition and decay, all bleeding into every page.
