Jami Hunt-Williams was born and raised in mid-Missouri, an hour away from the Mississippi River in the small town of Shelbyville. She began to write poetry at the age of six and by the time she was seven she had pretend published over 100 poems, all of which were approved with love by her Grandma Mac who suffered through days of playing school as the student and playing church as the lone member of the congregation.
Williams was, as one might suspect, an awkward teenager and she grew into an awkward adult. She left high school a semester early and landed in her favorite "small town" in the whole world, Hannibal, where she attended Hannibal-LaGrange University.

Williams was, as one might suspect, an awkward teenager and she grew into an awkward adult. She left high school a semester early and landed in her favorite "small town" in the whole world, Hannibal, where she attended Hannibal-LaGrange University.
Of course, she had absolutely no business going to college because she had absolutely no idea what she wanted to do with her life. Oh, she had a plan: she was going to drive around the US and write poetry just like Jack Kerouac. But that dream was cruelly crushed by reality and a full-ride scholarship.
At college, she found acting and dug into her writing. She managed to cram four years of learning into five and left with a completely useless Liberal Arts degree and floundered around for the next approximately 15 years working in theatre, voicing over commercials, working as an on-air talent and radio producer. During this time she met and married her best friend in whole wide world, James and, despite the expert opinion of five specialists, they managed to produce one son, a ginger whom they named Kyser. Jami tells people who won't understand that they named him Kyser because he is the "king of their hearts." That's a lie. She chose the name Kyser because she has a daddy crush on actor Kevin Spacey and her favorite character of his is Kyser Soze (a.k.a. Verbal Kent) in the usual suspects.
At age 38, Jami finally found her place in the world as a journalism and broadcasting teacher at Mexico High School where she is now put into contact daily with impressionable young children who teach her how to properly use the lingo of today's youth and encourage her to listen to Bruno Mars and Niki Minaj.
When she is not working, she can be found reading, writing, watching every single episode of The X-Files ever made, and spending time with her beloved "boys," James and Kyser.
Jami makes her home in Mexico, Missouri, where she teaches, but also counts Hannibal and Shelbyville as home. ...more
