Biography
[edit]Williams was born and raised in New Westminster, British Columbia and graduated from New Westminster Secondary School in 2002. Following high school, Williams attended the University of Wyoming on a Tennis Scholarship. In 2005 Williams transferred schools to Jacksonville University where she finished her bachelor's degree while playing on the Women's Tennis Team[1] (Div. 1) in the Atlantic Sun Conference
While writing Our Interrupted Fairy Tale, Williams worked at the BC Transplant Society in Vancouver, British Columbia as a Communications Manager. Our Interrupted Fairy Tale is a non-fiction story told from both Williams' perspective and that of her late boyfriend, Chad Warren (February 11, 1975 - November 28, 2009). The memoir is a collection of Chad's diary and blog entries, and letters, cards and emails exchanged between the two during their courtship and Warren's battle with the incurable blood cancer, Multiple Myeloma. The book sold hundreds of copies in the first weeks of its launch in British Columbia, presumably due to the TV, radio and newspaper publicity she received (see references). On April 26, 2014, Williams attended her first American book-signing at Barnes & Noble, Seattle. According to her blog, Williams sold out her inventory in less than two hours.
