William G. Boundroukas is an Illinois attorney and author whose work explores responsibility, faith, family, memory, endurance, and the quiet ways people remain present when life becomes difficult.

After more than three decades practicing law, he began publishing fiction, poetry, and practical nonfiction shaped by the worlds he knows best: professional responsibility, family life, caregiving, loss, conscience, faith, and the experience of continuing when stopping is not an option.

His books include The One Who Stayed, Advocate and Witness, the Still Functioning books, the poetry collections Still Standing and By What It Does, and the speculative literary series The Worlds That Remember.

Although his books cross genres, they return again and again to a common question: What does it mean to remain present, responsible, and loving when circumstances cannot simply be fixed?

Boundroukas lives and works in the Chicago area. His writing is shaped by his Greek-American background, Orthodox Christian faith, legal career, and life as a husband and father.

He writes because he wants the books to be read—but also because some of the most important stories are about the people who stay.
