About this author

Sean Williams was born in the dry, flat lands of South Australia, where he still lives with his wife and family. He has been called many things in his time, including "the premier Australian speculative fiction writer of the age", the "Emperor of Sci-Fi", and the "King of Chameleons" for the diversity of his output.

On the sci-fi front, he is best-known internationally for award-winning space opera series and novels set in the Star Wars universe, many co-written with fellow-Adelaidean Shane Dix. These include the Astropolis, Evergence, Orphans, and Geodesica se...more


I have a new site and a new blog. Yes, I'm joining the great exodus to WordPress! I was originally going to crosspost here, but it seemed like a good opportunity to migrate to my [info] seanwilliams username, so that's what I'll aim to do.

Megan was a guest this year of Adelaide Writers' Week. I met her briefly but didn't get a chance to talk long. I wish I had. This is a terrific crime novel, noir to the very last line.

I've been meaning to read this series for ages, and I'm glad I finally got to it. Slighly counter-factural hardboiled Regency--what's not to love, right? It also has rich characterization, perfect plotting, keenly observed prose, and moments of humou...more

“You will never convince me to betray my master!-Starkiller”
Sean Williams, The Force Unleashed

“With that, the hologram did dissolve and PROXY returned to his normal appearance and size.
"Ugh," the droid said with a shudder. "I hate being him."
The apprentice stood, deep in thought and nodded. "I think he does too.”
Sean Williams, The Force Unleashed

“Metaphorically speaking," she said with a smile, "'if' is the smallest word in the Galactic Standard lexicon, yet it stands between us and our greatest dreams. Let it be a bridge, Shigar. It's time you crossed it. I will be waiting for you on the other side.”
Sean Williams
