  <about><![CDATA[Austin Williams holds a degree in film and critical writing from the University of Southern California. He is the co-author (with Erik Quisling) of Straight Whisky: A Living History of Sex, Drugs and Rock 'n' Roll on the Sunset Strip, published in 2003. This multi-generational account of L.A.'s most famous nightclubs has been hailed as a seminal work by industry icons and music aficionados alike. 

Austin’s first novel, Crimson Orgy, was published in January of 2008 to rave reviews from Publishers Weekly, Film Threat Magazine, The Midwest Book Review and other sources. 

Austin lives in Los Angeles, reading and writing and occasionally procrastinating.
