Welcome to Jim Williams Books

Jim Williams Books is the website of Jim Williams, the Booker Prize nominated author whose works include Crime Fiction (Thrillers & Murder Mystery), Historical Romance, Science Fantasy and a guide to writing autobiography; he is a popular Speaker on cruises and he gives lectures to Readers’ Groups, U3A – University of the Third Age meetings and Literary and Philosophical Societies – and he is (just possibly) a Charlatan.

“Jim Williams first hit the news when his early novels had the uncanny knack of coming true. The Hitler Diaries was published nine months before the celebrated forgery came out. Farewell to Russia dealt with a nuclear disaster in the Soviet Union months before the Chernobyl disaster. Lara’s Child, his sequel to Doctor Zhivago, provoked an international literary scandal and led to his being a guest speaker at the Cheltenham Festival.Scherzo, a witty and elegant mystery set in eighteenth century Venice, was nominated for the Booker Prize. All of his fiction has been published internationally. American Values is his thirteenth novel.”
