"Adventure for those who love to read. Ambition for those who love to write."

M.K. Williams writes suspenseful literary fiction for the contemporary reader. Her body of work is comprised of multiple novels, short stories, and her non-fiction work includes her self-publishing guides for aspiring authors.

Her first novel, Nailbiters, is an apocalyptic science-fiction thriller that has kept audiences up all night since its debut in 2015. The sequel, Architects, follows a new set of characters as they navigate the dystopian world created in the aftermath of the invasion. Her second novel, Enemies of Peace, is a cautionary tale of the American Dream gone awry. This domestic thriller has shocked audiences who never saw the final twist coming. Her latest series is a time-travel saga set across multiple universes, The Infinite-Infinite is the first in a series of feminist science fiction books across the multiverse.

Williams’ writing influences include a lifetime of watching suspenseful mysteries and action movies and reading Stephen King, Margaret Atwood, Ian McEwan, and Lauren Beukes.

After writing and publishing for years, Williams launched Author Your Ambition where she helps aspiring authors. Through videos, e-courses, and books, she helps first-time authors navigate the ins-and-outs of self-publishing. Her Author Your Ambition series of books cover self-publishing, marketing, and writing craft. Each short and information-packed book is designed to cut to the chase and answer the questions that aspiring authors ask all the time.
