W. B. J. Williams
W.B.J. Williams is an author and poet who happens to be an internationally respected expert in information security and unicorns. With an advanced degree in Anthropology and an amateur historian, he serves his local community as part of the Historical Commission. He writes fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. His bad puns are endured by his beloved wife and daughters. When not writing, he can often be found haunting the bookstores of the Boston area to the dismay of his budget. He has not given up looking for unicorns, as he knows that you always find things in the last place you look.
My publishing credits include: THE GARDEN AT THE ROOF OF THE WORLD (2013) currently being shopped for a TV/film deal, and THE REALITY, MYTHOLOGY, AND FANTASIES OF UNICORNS (2021) with Dragonwell Publishing. My novel, JOHNNY TALON AND THE GODDESS OF LOVE AND WAR was a semi finalist for the Ozma award, and short listed for the Shelly award. My short story "The InfoCoup" was published by Abyss and Apex in 2019 and featured in their magazine issue The Best of Abyss & Apex: Volume Three.
A Time Traveler's Guide to the 13th Century is forthcoming.
