Autorenporträt
Fred Williams is determined to bring readers a new storytelling experience guiding them down a twisted dark rabbit hole where moral ambiguity abounds. Known for his dark and suspenseful style, he discovered his passion for writing and jumped on the scene in 2019, leading to multiple short stories being published in various anthologies. Williams was featured in the 2019 Santa Barbara Literary Journal, Stardust, and had one of his tales published on Max Talley's Delirium Corridor. Born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, his writing is influenced by his love for the Twilight Zone and the writings of William Gibson, George R. R. Martin, and especially Stephen King's Needful Things. His premiere novel, Scramble: A Perfect Recipe For Math, Murder, and Revenge, has been released to critical acclaim in August 2020, and his next two works titled Chrome #22 and Love Unrequited are completed and in the development stage. After a career in bodybuilding, modeling, and telecommunications, Williams now divides his free time between writing, working on his spiritual growth and the gym, and lives in Ventura, California.
