More About the Authors:

William Larsh
I was born in Baltimore, Maryland, and grew up in Perry Hall, Maryland.  I graduated from Towson State University with magna cum laude honors in 1984.  I worked my entire career for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) from 1984 to 2012.  I have been married to my wife, Cindy, since 1984, and have two grown children, Ethan and Mary, and three grandchildren.  I retired in 2012 and moved to Waynesboro, Pennsylvania.  I enjoy golfing, traveling, and spending time with my family.  I published a novel in December 2016, entitled, L’Archevêque, based on the true story of a French fur trader in the 1700s, my direct ancestor, Paul L’Archevêque, also known as Paul Larsh.  In October 2017, I published a detailed memoir of my career, entitled, The FBI – They Eat Their Young.  The book disclosed fascinating details of the inner workings of the FBI, as well as exposing a dark side of the FBI executive management.  My third book, Never Volunteer, was published by Blossom Spring Publishing in February 2023.  Never Volunteer is an amusing, historical love story of a savvy, street-smart kid from Baltimore, Montgomery “Monty” A. Culpepper.  It is based on a true story and love letters from World War II.
