BILLY H. BALIAN

Hello and welcome to this website. First, a little nod to The Shawshank Redemption and a scene that played out. Here is the dialog: “ANDY: Peter Stevens. RED Who? ANDY The silent, silent partner. He's the guilty one, your Honor. The man with the bank accounts. That's where the filtering process starts. They trace it back, all they're gonna find is him. RED Yeah, okay, but who the hell is he? ANDY A phantom. An apparition. Second cousin to Harvey the Rabbit. I conjured him out of thin air. He doesn't exist...except on paper. RED You can't just make a person up!” – AND YET… that is exactly who Billy Hunter Balian is.

 

    I am not the first and I will certainly not be the last to use a pseudonym in writing, publishing and sharing ideas. In fact, here are a few you may not have realized. J.K. Rowling: Published the crime novel "The Cuckoo's Calling" under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith, but the secret was revealed shortly after the book's release. Stephen King: Used the pen name Richard Bachman to publish books outside his usual genre, but the ruse was uncovered by a bookstore worker named Steve Brown. Katharine Burdekin: Wrote under the pseudonym Murray Constantine, particularly for her dystopian novel "Swastika Night", which was later revealed to be her work. Alice Sheldon: Known for her science fiction works under the pen name James Tiptree, Jr., she maintained the male pseudonym to avoid attention as a prominent woman in a male-dominated field. Joe Klein: Authored the novel "Primary Colors" under the pseudonym Anonymous, which was later revealed to be his work, and two of the more famous ones include:

 

     Samuel Langhorne Clemens known by the pen name Mark Twain and Theodor Geisel best known for his work writing and illustrating more than 60 books under the pen name Dr. Seuss. Yes. Welcome to the writing, authoring and discipling world of Billy H. Balian. I hope you will focus less on who is Billy H. Balian and pay more attention to the mission and message of what the writing is all about.
