Sandy Williams writes urban fantasy and science fiction, both with a strong shot of romance. She's a fan of the enemies-to-lovers trope and loves books with high stakes and fantastical settings. When she's not being a bookworm, she loves playing board and card games like Dominion, Quacks of Quedlinburg, Dungeon Petz, etc (but not Goblins because she ALWAYS loses that damn game).

Hi Krystien,
I'm so happy you loved the shadow reader books. I miss McKenzie and the fae and hope to write a few short stories and alternate POV scenes in that world again soon. I have one alternate POV from Aren on my website if you want to check it out, and I'm working on another. I just can't get that world out of my mind. :-)
As for books, my current project is a space urban fantasy - or science fiction romance. It has a kickbutt heroine who's been charged with murder and treason, and who can’t deny the charges because she’s been telepathically silenced. There's a hot hero and a bunch of action, and I'm super excited about it. I'm aiming for a January 2015 release day.
Thanks for the question, and that's so much for reading!
Cheers!

Hi Vinaya,
Oh, wow! You've just made my day. It's so awesome to hear you've enjoyed Shades enough to read it three times! Yay! You are so going to love the next book. It will be out this summer, most likely early July. I'll probably have the exact date by the end of March. And hopefully the cover and summary within the next month or two! In the meantime, have you read Linnea Sinclair or Rachel Bach's books? They write my all-time favorite sci-fi romance books. Definitely worth reading (and rereading! lol).
Thanks for the question!
Sandy

Trick-or-Treat! The Sandy Screw-up Edition

I'm doing a thing! A very...scary?...thing. While Sandy was away vacation-ing in the West Caribbean, I was digging through organizing her stuff,* and I discovered something super hilarious.

Sandy can't sign her name.

ROFLMAO

I mean, eventually she gets it right, but check out a few of the sig pages she's "messed up." 

 


Look at that second pic! Sandra??? Sandy's only called Sandra when she's in trouble

Yall, this has probably been my worst reading year ever. What I've read has been pretty great, but I've been, um, picking up my phone more than I've picked up books. It's really bad, and I'm working on it.

“Fine," he says, his words coming out breathless. "I'll save your precious sword-master, McKenzie. But I will never, ever give you back to him.”
Sandy Williams, The Shadow Reader

“If I were a good man,” he says, “I’d acknowledge that Taltrayn is an honorable fae, that he loves you and would take care of you. I’d step down and let you have the man you’ve always wanted, but, McKenzie, I’m not as good as Taltrayn. I never will be, and I can’t step down. I’ll fight for the chance to be with you.”
Sandy Williams, The Shadow Reader

“He’s had ten years to make you fall in love with him. I haven’t had ten weeks! Tell me how that’s fair!”
Sandy Williams, The Shadow Reader
