Kevin Wayne Williams has been an engineer for much of his life, beginning with GTE in 1980. He rose through the ranks and eventually became an executive in Silicon Valley. In 2004, tired of it all, he fled the country with his wife, Kathy. They opened a hotel on Bonaire, a small Dutch island north of Venezuela. In 2009, for reasons he still doesn’t quite understand, they returned to the United States.

He has since resumed his engineering career, but writes novels to help dull the pain.

His first novel, "Everything I Know About Zombies, I Learned in Kindergarten", won an IndieFab award for Multicultural Adult Fiction. He is in the process of adapting the work to graphic novel format under the title "PS43 Survives".
