Biography

D.S. Williams likes to live fictional people’s lives, mainly because they’re much more interesting than her own.

There was a time when D.S. thought she could be like ‘other’ people, holding down a job in the real world. It quickly became apparent this wasn’t a suitable environment for someone with her head in the clouds; but it took nearly ten years of employment, then fifteen years as a full-time parent before she found her niche in working from home – where she can go off on those tangents of imagination.

Employment and family notwithstanding, she’s spent forty odd years engrossed in make-believe worlds, creating characters, placing them into impossible situations and bringing new settings to life. Characters are created in the deepest, darkest corners of her mind and they never, ever do as they’re told – while D.S. has a plan, her characters tend to travel a path wildly different to what was prepared for them.

A lover of multiple genres, D.S. will write just about anything, although she especially loves romances. If you can add werewolves, vampires or other mythical creatures to the mix, she’s in her element. She also loves a spot of suspense, a touch of teasing, and never met a good cliff-hanger she didn’t like.

D.S. is currently working on a number of new projects. She adores strong male characters, feisty females, and developing complex relationships for everyone who turns up in her books.

When not writing or reading, she’s still involved with the written word in her work as an editor – The Pedantic Punctuator – specializing in indie author works.

D.S. loves collecting notebooks and pens, in fact; some would suggest it’s an addiction. Her home is overflowing with (mostly empty) notebooks, and she has a pen for every single occasion.

While D.S. is Australian, her stories are generally set in other countries. She uses her love of research and an addiction to Google Search to flesh out the settings she creates. Most of her books are set in the US, although a current work-in-progress is set in the wine-growing regions of France, and a future book will take place in Scotland.

A reclusive introvert, D.S. lives with her Darling Husband and their youngest ‘child’, a Bull Mastiff X named Angus. She’s travelled around Australia for nearly 30 years as a military wife, but recently returned to Western Australia where she intends to spend the rest of her days writing, reading and meeting new (fictional) friends.
