About the author

Marlin Williams is a storyteller who spends most of his time in conversation—with his characters, his muse, and the quiet voice that still believes in light. He writes metaphysical fantasy where courage and faith meet shadow, blending myth and human emotion into worlds that feel both ancient and familiar.
When he’s not writing, Marlin enjoys the simple rhythm of everyday life in Texas: long walks, working out, a good film, and reading anything that stirs wonder. His stories often begin as a whisper, a question about fear, hope, or what it means to remember who we truly are.
Through his novels and reflections, he invites readers to slow down, listen, and find a spark of their own.
The light remembers.
