Before finding
success as an acclaimed bestselling author, Tad Williams held
numerous odd jobs, including insurance salesman, radio host, laying
titles, and several years in a rock band called Idiot. Among his
numerous works are the series MEMORY, SORROW & THORN series (THE
DRAGONBONE CHAIR, STONE OF FAREWELL, and TO GREEN ANGEL TOWER),
OTHERLAND (CITY OF GOLDEN SHADOW, RIVER OF BLUE FIRE, MOUNTAIN OF
BLACK GLASS, and SEA OF SILVER LIGHT), SHADOWMARCH (SHADOWMARCH,
SHADOWPLAY, SHADOWRISE, and SHADOWHEART), and BOBBY DOLLAR (THE DIRTY
STREETS OF HEAVEN, HAPPY HOUR IN HELL, and SLEEPING LATE ON JUDGEMENT
DAY) and the classic stand alone novel TAILCHASER’S SONG.

Williams has
authored comics for DC, Image, Wildstorm, and Big Entertainment.
Titles included AQUAMAN: SWORD OF ATLANTIS, THE NEXT, WILDC.A.T.S,
DIVINE RIGHT, and MIRRORWORLD: RAIN. His numerous shorter works have
been collected in RITE: SHORT WORK, A STARK AND WORMY
KNIGHT, and THE VERY BEST OF TAD WILLIAMS.

All
