Paul Williams is a 21 year old living in the United States, Las Vegas NV at the time of writing. He works by day for an afterschool program, while designing logos for the school on the side. He is a member of the LGBTQ+ community, also claiming a biracial identity of African American and Latino heritage. In the future he plans to continue publishing while completing a college degree, and dreams of making a living off of his creations.
In his newest book, Shadow of Hades, Williams reveals themes of grief, often what we commonly associate with death. He hopes readers are moved to examine their lives on a smaller scale, feel invited to empathize with all aspects of the world and see the magical playground that is our shared universe. The world seemed uniquely grim at the time Williams wrote Shadow of Hades, and that darkness is nuanced in the characters, however, he still provides a glimmer of hope to the readers for a world that desperately needs it and that we should all keep close to our hearts.
