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

MK Williams writes suspenseful literary fiction and sci-fi adventure for the contemporary reader. Her body of work is comprised of three novels, two self-publishing guides, a budgeting and planning workbook, and a collection of short stories.

Her first novel, Nailbiters, is an apocalyptic science-fiction thriller that has kept audiences up all night since its debut in 2015. Her most popular work, Enemies of Peace, was featured on several podcasts and continues to garner interest from fans of literary fiction and cautionary tales of the American Dream gone awry. In her latest novel, The Infinite-Infinite, Williams takes us on a journey through the multiverse.

Escaping Avila Chase on Pre-Order

To mark the 5th Anniversary of The Games You Cannot Win (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...)

I am releasing the final story from that collection, Escaping Avila Chase as a standalone novella.

Looking at the reviews for the collection, almost everyone agreed- Escaping Avila Chase was the standout tale and was certainly long enough to be considered a novella, not a short story.

Quotes by M.K. Williams  (?)

“Perhaps it was all just another game that I can’t win, I thought. Heartbreak, a meaningful career, a dead-end ambition. I can’t win. I think it was at that moment that I was released.”
M.K. Williams, The Games You Cannot Win

“She was one of the freest people in the world. A middle-class white woman in America, she was the benefactor of a lifetime of advantage and opportunity. She was more free than a woman in Tehran or Bangladesh. She had the means to feed herself and her family, she could dress and speak as she pleased. She could work and travel without any reasonable fear of attack. She was so free, that she indebted and enslaved herself to clothes, cars, fashion, and Facebook. Youth may be wasted on the young, but freedom is squandered on the privileged.”
M.K. Williams, Enemies of Peace

“They had an idea. An idea, like a free radical, can spread like a cancer. They seemed out of step with what mainstream society wanted, and that made them a very dangerous couple.”
M.K. Williams, Enemies of Peace

“Even
After
All this time
The Sun never says to the Earth,

"You owe me."

Look
What happens
With a love like that,
It lights the whole sky.”
Hafiz

“Life is too short to spend another moment imprisoned by the will of another.”
M.K. Williams, Nailbiters

“Pay no attention to what the critics say. A statue has never been erected in honor of a critic.”
Jean Sibelius

“I am losing precious days. I am degenerating into a machine for making money. I am learning nothing in this trivial world of men. I must break away and get out into the mountains to learn the news”
John Muir
