He did not. William Shakespeare did not write novels. They were an unknown form in his day. Shakespeare wrote plays which is a totally different literary form. The plots for his plays were almost all taken from stories or history books or biographies he had read or plays by other people which he had seen. He made changes in these plots but he started out with a story he got from somewhere else.

There is no historical evidence to suggest that William Shakespeare knew Guy Fawkes personally. Shakespeare was active in London during the early 1600s, while the Gunpowder Plot, in which Fawkes was involved, took place in 1605. However, it is possible that Shakespeare was aware of Fawkes' actions, as the plot garnered significant public attention and became a topic of discussion in the years following the event.

Does the book Romeo and Juliet revolve around the love of william shakespeare?

No. That was the plot of the movie Shakespeare in Love. In fact the story of Romeo and Juliet was much older than Shakespeare, and it would be just as ridiculous for someone in Shakespeare's day to have claimed it was about them as it would for someone today to do so. "I've written a story about Romeo and Juliet in 2013 and it's based on my life experiences." Sure it is.
