Bill Coyman

Raised in the tight-knit neighborhoods of Lowell and Charlestown, Massachusetts, Bill draws on a lifetime of colorful characters, family chaos, and unspoken truths to tell a story that’s as personal as it is relatable.

After three decades leading teams in the global staffing industry, Bill hit pause on corporate life to write the book that had lived inside him for years, centered around the mysterious death of his father, famously dubbed “The Mystery Train Man” by NYC tabloids. With humor, grit, and an unmistakable voice, Two Dollar Bills is both a tribute and a reckoning.

Now based on the West Coast, Bill is embracing a second act filled with storytelling, travel, and meaningful conversations with readers who know that every family has secrets, and every goodbye holds more than it seems.
