William grew up in Queensland and has travelled extensively throughout Australia. He now lives in Melbourne with Sarah Watt and their two children.
From AudioFile:
Sam Bailey's plan for a life spent working his Australian farm is derailed by a car accident that leaves him a quadriplegic with one partially functioning arm. After months of therapy, coupled with heavy support from family and friends, he meets a radio personality named Jenny, and his future brightens. Sam doesn't read his own story, but so positive and enthusiastic is William McInnes's performance that listeners will think he does. McInnes's Aussie twang doesn't hurt either. This is a straightforward reading of a straightforward story. Sam's love for Jenny and the land he lives on are evident. Join this "Jackeroo" for an uplifting ride!
