More About the Author
I am a big fan of Amazon and usually buy all my books or nearly all of them straight from here. It is a delight to be included with in the pages of their books for sale on line.
As a multi-published, award-winning author I find connecting to new readers and current fans is as simple as an email address. You can find any of my Books from my three publishers Wings ePress, Inc., Filbert Publishing, and Publish America right here. Just search for my name. Billie A Williams.
As a child growing up in Park Falls, Wisconsin and spending summers alone with my grandparents on a farm in Morse, Wisconsin, I had ample time to create stories for myself and my 4 siblings.
I read, read, read. I think I checked out as many books as I could carry every week when Grandma would take me to the Glidden Public Library - I would read every book cover to cover and anticipate the next trip. I still remember finding The Diary of Anne Frank. That book still lingers in my mind.
My mother instilled the joy and inspiration of reading into our lives. I have never stopped reading. Is it any wonder I write = ) Stephen King said, "if you don't have time to read, You don't have time to write."
Issac Asimov said "I write for the same reason I breathe. For without it I would die." Both of these statements inform my life and resemble my thoughts exactly.
Please join me whenever you feel the urge to feel inspired, motivated, or in need of a distraction or entertainment on a rainy or blustery day. I look forward to your comments and questions.

This book has all the character traits that anyone could want to explore for their books. You could get some really twisted people or some really good people depending on what you want.The exercises work really well for character developement practice and are worth trying even if you aren't sure you want to write a book. They will expand your imagination if nothing else.
