edit data

Sandy Williams writes urban fantasy and science fiction, both with a strong shot of romance. She's a fan of the enemies-to-lovers trope and loves books with high stakes and fantastical settings. When she's not being a bookworm, she loves playing board and card games like Dominion, Quacks of Quedlinburg, Dungeon Petz, etc (but not Goblins because she ALWAYS loses that damn game).

Sandy's Favorite Books of 2023

I had a decent year of reading for me. 24 books (one added after I took this pic). That's probably more than I read in previous years. It helped that five of these were audiobooks.

I'd rate all the books pictured here at least 3 stars. Probably at least 4. I enjoyed them. I'm at a point in my reading life where I allow myself to DNF books more often than I used to. There are just too many stories t

Sandy Williams answered Snarktastic Sonja's question: I have enjoyed all your novels. I am wondering when the 4th Kennedy Rain book will be released? For some reason, I thought it was April 2024, but now I don't see it anywhere. Hi Sonja, So glad you've enjoyed Kennedy's series so far! I haven't announced a release date yet. I'm going to wait until the book is off to the editors, which I expect to happen sometime this summer. My guess is it will be in the fall, but if it's la See Full Answer

Quotes by Sandy Williams (?)

“Fine," he says, his words coming out breathless. "I'll save your precious sword-master, McKenzie. But I will never, ever give you back to him.”
― Sandy Williams, The Shadow Reader

“If I were a good man,” he says, “I’d acknowledge that Taltrayn is an honorable fae, that he loves you and would take care of you. I’d step down and let you have the man you’ve always wanted, but, McKenzie, I’m not as good as Taltrayn. I never will be, and I can’t step down. I’ll fight for the chance to be with you.”
― Sandy Williams, The Shadow Reader
