Episode 234 – The Conjuror’s Apprentice with G. J. Williams

Guest Bio

G.J. Williams is Welsh but raised in England. She grew up in Somerset where history, story-telling and adventure were the stuff of life. She wrote as a child but then a career in academia followed by international consulting meant that it was some years before the love of crafting a tale came back to the forefront of life.

G.J. Williams now lives between London and Somerset and is often found writing on the train journey next to a grumpy cat and a cup of tea. The tap of the keyboard keys transports her to medieval England and all the sounds, smells and intrigues of life.

When not writing, life is a busy muddle of research, travelling to historic sites, walking, woodwork, or sailing the blue seas on her beloved boat.

She has one dream as a writer – to be chosen by readers who love the greats such as CJ Sansom, SJ Parris and Rory Clements and to see John Dee and Margaretta win the hearts of all who pick up The Conjuror’s Apprentice.
