Welcome to the website of

Justin Williams

I write character-driven stories that blur the lines between fantasy and science fiction, often with a touch of darkness. You can read some free samples here, or drop a few bucks for some others here. For the curious, you can browse my notebook, learn about me, or drop me a line.

You can also see what I’m working on (or, more often, how I’m procrastinating).

If you just want a no-effort way to keep up on new releases, join my mailing list and get a free story as thanks.

And, if you’re just exploring, the little navigation menu up top will guide the way.

I’ve mentioned before how much @edemberley’s drawing books meant to me as a child, so you can imagine how cool it was to log in today and see his account on my list of followers. Everything I know about drawing was built on a foundation of Ed Emberley and @markkistlerartist, especially the joy of it. My copy of Make a World is lost to a childhood move, but I still have a handful of drawings, 40ish years old, and of course I bought a new copy years ago when it was time to inspire my kids. Thanks you for brightening my childhood, Mr. Emberley. Of the things I kept when my stepdad passed years ago, some of my favorites are these daily logbooks. If you’re in Arizona, California, Missouri, or Illinois, he built a lot of the roads you’re driving on, and as foreman kept records of each job in books like these. Scattered among complaints about his bosses and congratulations to his crew, there’s even a note about me here and there. They were more than just a record of events. In a way, they were proof of life, evidence of what he was contributing to the world. Just got this beauty back from the shop. Looking forward to putting it to good use now! Thanks to @typewriterexchange for getting it going again!
