Steve Stinson is son-in-law to “Bullet Bill” Dudley. Steve is an artist and writer in Virginia, where he lives with his wife. When he was younger, he was a juggler and wrote comic strips. Today, his grandchildren call him “Bebop.” His previous children’s books include, Grumpypants, Where Kent Went, Darien the Crustatarien, and My Favorite Nursery Rhymes.
“Steve Stinson has tucked 'Bullet' Bill Dudley’s incomparable life into these pages as skillfully as the book’s triple-threat hero once carried, passed, and kicked a football. You might just feel like doing an end zone dance before this only-in-America life is through. ”

“Having interviewed Bill Dudley late in his life on his selection as the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft, I was struck by how much more there was to his story. I wish I had known him better and Steve Stinson has made that possible in this book. In a myriad of journalistic-related pursuits, Steve has always been a consummate storyteller and his connections to the Dudley family made him the perfect candidate for this project.”
