William Murtha is a writer, philanthropist and global activist for issues related to personal, social and global change, the environment and social responsibility. Dying for a Change, the first of a three-book series, is the true story of his near-death and how it completely altered his way of life. Several years after that life-changing incident, he left behind everything that he'd ever worked hard to achieve. Selling his business, and turning away from a
successful career in sales management, he finally answered the calling to get his incredible story out there in the open.

William was involved solely in construction and development management until 2005. He then sold his share in the business he had founded, and instead concentrated fully on writing and other creative projects. One of those initiatives is The Imagination Project, an innovative non-profit organization that promotes, supports and encourages young emerging leaders and writers in the sectors of change, human rights, corporate social responsibility and personal development.

To fund and kick-start this exciting innovative, William has pulled together written 'vision statements' of hope from a wide array of globally renowned luminaries and change-makers, with the intention of publishing several books under the title, Visionaries for the 21st Century. All profits from the Visionaries branded series, and all donations from philanthropists, will go towards supporting writers on scholarships within the Imagination Project.

William has three daughters and lives on the west coast of Britain, in the county of Devon. He is a member of several globally recognized organizations who are committed to positive change and the education of eco-literacy. He is also is a coordinator and speaker for the Scientific and Medical Network, a non-profit establishment that explores the frontiers of science, consciousness and spirituality.
