William Cecil Knott was born in Boston, Massachusetts on August 7 1927.

Between 1967 and 1983, Knott was Assistant Professor (later Associate Professor) of English at the State University of New York. In his free time, he also carved out an impressive body of fiction, most of it in the western field. In addition to creating his own series, The Vengeance Seeker and Golden Hawk, he also contributed to the Stagecoach Station series (as Hank Mitchum), Slocum (as Jake Logan), Longarm (as Tabor Evans) and The Trailsman (as Jon Sharpe). Under the names Bill Knott and Bill Carol he wrote several children's books, and also contributed to the WWII adventure series Mac Wingate, which is also being republished by Piccadilly Publishing.Mr. Knott passed away in 2008. He had a reason for living: to kill When he was just a boy, the five saddle tramps had murdered his parents in front of him, and nearly beaten him to death. Rescued by a kindly old Spaniard, most of Wolf's physical wounds were healed. They took his eye, his childhood and his parents, and now Wolf would show them vengeance. For ten years he plotted as he grew, and sharpened his skill with his Winchester rifle and Colt revolver. Then he went after them, one by one.
