Sean Williams

About Author

Sean Williams was born in Australia in 1967. He started reading science fiction at an early age and began writing his own genre short stories when he was ten years old.
His parents were teachers (his father later became an Anglican priest) and that meant a lot of moving around, although he still spent most of his childhood in Adelaide, where he still lives.

He studied sciences and music at Pulteney Grammar and in 1984 won the Young Composer's Award.
While he still occasionally writes music, most of his time is taken up writing fiction.
After leaving school he worked for the Australian distributor of Yamaha musical instruments and took a Bachelor of Economics degree at Adelaide University ("a disaster"), which persuaded him to start writing. He decided to give himself ten years to have a book published, otherwise he would try something else (which would probably have been music-related).
Those ten years included a lot of part-time jobs including being a sound engineer, a petrol station attendant, a pizza delivery driver, an usher and a retail clerk, as well as studying music part-time (in a vain attempt to finish his degree) and writing full-time.
He wrote more than 100 short stories and his first solo novel, Metal Fatigue, was published in 1996.
These days he writes two or more books a hear and takes time out to DJ and do caving.
