"Some people run from their demons; others sit down and have cocktails with theirs"
William R. Hincy is a man who does and writes about the latter. Having become a writer after deciding it was the only sensible thing for a problem drinker to do, Hincy aspires to use literature to connect society on an emotional level through characters who no longer create messes but have instead become the mess.

Kirkus Reviews
Starred Review of Without Expiration
Hincy’s taut prose makes the entire collection a quick read but still fills the stories with indelible passages. Named one of the Best Books of 2020!
Connie Kuntz
Managing editor of The Rockford Review
Hincy has the quality to capture the new millennium the way Vonnegut captured the 1900’s.... Hincy’s insight and perspective has the power to improve and connect the world, not just add to it.

Philip Culbertson
Author and Co-editor of the New Zealand Journal of Counseling
"For all its bleakness, But the Ripping Apart is a convincing study of how we so often get lost in mid-life, struggling to connect to anything that gives meaning longer than the moment, yet finally understanding that our sense of purpose comes in the simplest of connections."
