Driveway Stories
Bill Overton works as a contractor for Boeing and Lockheed at NASA in Houston as a video editor and Executive Support for secure video meetings. His background is in broadcast television, so he is a natural in his current role. His real passion is working on his car projects and writing short stories. He began writing from his life experiences and observations. At last count, he has 235 short stories on various subjects.
Bill is working on several novels and is close to finishing the first, 'Best Friends'. The other novels in work are a Science Fiction called 'Terah' and a fiction based on facts called 'Towboat'.
Bill created a Facebook group called Driveway Stories. He named it this because people would stop by while he was working on one of his car projects, and they would all stand on his driveway telling their latest stories or reminiscing about the good old days. Bill encourages others to add their short stories to the Driveway Stories Facebook group. Through this group, members encouraged Bill to publish some of his work.
The first book Bill published through Amazon is called 'The Mystery Vette'.
High School in the mid 1970's meant the first generation of Muscle Cars. Joe was sort of a loner who had a passion for hot-rodding his 1968 Camaro. He was always experimenting with new engine/transmission combos and testing out the latest build on the streets. High School could not be over soon enough so he could to get to his garage for the afternoon. A new girl at the school has caught his eye. Will she even notice him? Will Joe build up enough courage to talk with her? Or will the Camaro demand all of his attention? There is a new Corvette on the street-racing scene, and no one knows who owns it. Follow Joe and his friend Danny as they prepare their cars to take on the Mystery Vette.

Bill published a book called 'L'Abri, My Search for Faith'.
In 1979, Bill backpacked through Europe alone for 100 days. He kept a daily journal of his adventure, which was instrumental in writing this book. Several friends had died the year before due to various accidents, so Bill set out on his journey to find answers for his life. There is a community in Huemoz, Switzerland called L'Abri. L'Abri is French for The Shelter. Dr. Francis and Edith Scheaffer founded L'Abri in the 1950s as a Christian Community for those seeking answers in life. Bill did find the answers he was looking for, answers that influence his life today.
Bill's parents encouraged him to write this book. As they were up in age, he published this book with his parents in mind, which is why it has large print, the best paper stock, and color images throughout. Bill plans to republish the book to downgrade its quality and in order to lower the selling price.
