Biography

Tad Williams is one of America's most popular SF authors. His twin epics, Otherland and Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn, have earned him a place in the fields of both science fiction and fantasy. His novels have made the New York Times and London Sunday Times bestseller lists, and have been translated into twenty different languages.

Before his success as an author, Williams struggled to find a lifetime career. After dropping out of college, he held down various jobs, from radio show host to selling shoes, band singer to designing military manuals, throwing newspapers to working in film, theatre, and television. After his first novel Tailchaser's Song was accepted by DAW books, Williams devoted more time to his writing and became the accomplished author he is today.

Tad Williams writes roughly one novel a year. His talents, however, aren't limited  exclusively to the fields of prose. He also has projects in comic books, websites, film and television scripts, children's books, and toys.

He lives with his wife, children, and cats in California and London.
