“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

Today I sold a new Twinmaker story to Lightspeed. “The Life of Riley” is kind of a break-up story, but the romance is far from a normal one. Several of my Twinmaker stories are romances. “Incomplete No.7” definitely is, and so is “All the Wrong Places”, which is due soon in Jonathan Strahan’s Meeting Infinity. […]

I’m late posting late this because it slipped under my radar, but I’m nonetheless totally excited to be in Galaxy’s Edge with “The Dark Matters”, one of my favourite Twinmaker stories to date. This short tale bubbled away in my mind literally for years, before, like many stories, coming to life in a sudden rush. […]
