“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
“In a time when every second book seems to be a dour dystopia TWINMAKER is a
breath of fresh air. Not just because it’s hugely fun, or because it’s so
smart, but because behind its vision of a world in which distance has been
eliminated by matter transportation lies a book urgently engaged with the
ways social media and technology are transforming us, and unafraid of their
possibilities. I loved it.”
“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
Linda De Silva of Reading For Australia invited me to write a piece on anything I wanted for her wonderful site, an initiative of the 2013 Kids’ Lit Quiz team to promote awareness of the competition. Naturally, I chose to talk about twins and how special they are, not just in general (although they are) […]
Bored of interviews with me? How about an interview with Clair, main character of Twinmaker? You can have both, thanks to Kirsty Stanley (and a small excerpt from my PhD to boot). Me: “The reader brings their own baggage to every novel. I can’t control that side of the process, and I don’t want to. […]
Again, an unforgiveable conflation of three bloggers. Sorry! I’ve been flat-strap at Supanova all weekend so keeping up with everything has been beyond my jetlag-fogged brain. But here I am now, doing my best to catch up. Note that some of these are offering free books! First, there’s an interview over at the excellent site, […]
Thanks to my wonderful supervisors and examiners (and various critical supporters, such as my wife, without whom none of this) my PhD is going to be awarded real soon now (touchwood) making me something of an official expert in matter transmitters–or, as I prefer to call it, “Doctor D-mat”. Before I can start pompously insisting […]
The US blog tour is officially over! And so is the Egmonth video review competition. Below are links to summaries of both. Huge thanks to everyone who took the time and effort to look at Twinmaker and to share their feelings with the world. Particularly to Steph from A Dream Within A Dream who provided […]
