I also write historical fiction!
What don’t I do? I’m a pretty diverse artist, in fact. From photography to drawing and painting, I keep myself quite busy if the toddler and pup don’t have me running. I also enjoy jewelry creation and cosplay.
Currently, I’ve just published my fifth book, The Lucent Rise, the third in an epic dark fantasy series that embraces diversity and doesn’t shy away from the hard topics of domestic & sexual violence . Other books: Blue Honor (US Civil War), OP-DEC: Operation Deceit (WWII Spy Thriller), The Shadow Soul (DF, paranormal), Burning Down (DF, paranormal).
I’ve adapted OP-DEC and the first Trailokya (Shadow) to screenplays. I’m seeking management and producers at this time for both projects. I’ve learned so much through Stage32 about pitching! Great opportunities that always turn up something well-worthwhile.
I’ve been trying to get singers and voice talent friends to join, as well actors and other writers. They don’t believe me about the great community and opportunities here. So I’m having trouble convincing them. But, I have faith I’ll get them here eventually.
I’m the meantime, let me brag about a couple talented ppl I’m blessed to know…
Have you seen my friend, Kevin Craig West, on TV? Used to be just commercials not so long ago. Time and talent has led him to Law and Order along with New Amsterdam. He was in Place Beyond the Pines, too. He’s an amazing actor! Let’s try to get him on here!
Also, please check out an up-and-coming director from India: Thathagata Gosh. His films are winning a ton of awards worldwide, and I’m honored to call him friend. The Demon (Doityo), Miss Man.
Both are on IMDB!

Indeed, Kelly Williams, what DON'T you do?! LOL! I wish I had more time for cosplay, or just Halloween at this point. I haven't made a costume in years! What is your favorite character to portray?
OH, cool, congrats on your fifth book! Is that self-published? I'm so glad you've learned so much about pitching since being on Stage 32! Any words of wisdom for those new to the site?

Hey Kelly - if you're into cosplay, will you be going to DragonCon this coming Labor Day weekend? Because that's definitely the place to be for all things cosplay! I'll be attending as a Pro Guest again, I've been looking forward to this all year. The con is trying to do this as safe as possible, with masks & proof of vaccination required, and lots of cleaning in the panel rooms.
