Carlos A. Williams Jr., dark novelist, is a light-hearted person with an amazing ability to inspire laughter, which is a bold contrast to the dark and mysterious worlds his readers are plunged into. Twisted environments, deranged antagonists and embattled protagonists all dance hypnotically across the pages of his writing, amidst a minefield of harrowing consequences. 

 

His interest in writing sprouted at a very young age. As a child he would draw pictures from his collection of Little Golden Books and write his own stories alongside them. In high school, during a short stories class, Williams was able to see his classmates' reaction to his talent when his fellow students would insist upon hearing his daily assignments read aloud by the instructor and listen intently.

​

Williams is a graduate of Full Sail University with a BFA in Creative Writing for Entertainment who is currently pursuing his Master's in Entertainment Business. He credits the realization of writing as a profession to the vice president of a company he worked for. She fell in love with his writing and tasked him with contributing to the company’s monthly newsletter, process manuals, request for proposals (RFP), and editing. Williams entered college in pursuit of a technical writing degree, but his passion and creativity took over.

 

Williams is currently keeping busy with individual sci-fi and horror stories and various collaborative works scheduled for publication, along with scripting and marketing for multimedia entertainment through his own brand, Ante-Social Media Group.

When asked where he gets the ideas for the dark worlds and damaged characters that he molds, Williams answered:

​

"A person left to their own thoughts is a dangerous thing. Luckily for some, I have a pen."
