“Twinmaker took my breath away. A triumph of thrilling action and vivid
imagination.”-Alison Goodman, author of EON and EONA
“A mind-blowing adventure about what it means to be human, and what it means
to find ourselves.”-Scott Westerfeld, author of UGLIES and LEVIATHAN
“A gripping YA thriller, coming of age and love story that transports the
reader to a future that looks a whole lot better than it really is …
Highly Recommended.”-Garth Nix, author of SABRIEL
“Twinmaker asks smart questions without easy answers, and presents a future
so simultaneously wonderful and terrible you can only believe in it–and
maybe wish you could be there, too. A thrilling, existential head trip
worthy of my favorite anime, I couldn’t stop reading this book. More
importantly, I couldn’t stop thinking about it.”-Alaya Dawn Johnson, author
of THE SUMMER PRINCE

“Williams marries accessibly explored moral ramifications of future
technologies-a hallmark of mature science fiction-with a strong, capable
teen heroine and heart-pounding action” -KIRKUS

Three new stories have joined the Twinmaker universe: “Murdering Miss Deboo” – another Forest and Sargent mystery, this time involving a possibly murderous muscle car, “Immaterial Progress” – a very short story revealing the fate of the first person ever to travel via […]
I have a Twinmaker story (“The Beholders”) coming out later this year in the anthology Breaking Beauty. The cover went public this week, and I thought I’d share. It’s a beauty, isn’t it? The other anthology I’m in, due next month, is Kaleidoscope from Twelfth Planet Press. My story is called “The Legend Trap” and […]
A while back I wrote a couple of posts recommending books that inspired me while I was researching Twinmaker (and contributed greatly to my PhD). Here’s another one, about the author who arguably set me on the path to becoming a science fiction writer, and who contributed to my already great fascination with the matter […]
There are well over 30 bonus stories set in the Twinmaker universe. Because I like to keep track (and have a thing for lists), here’s a list of which secondary characters appear where and how they connect to Clair and Jesse. Links lead to stories where available; details of the others can be found on […]
