Jen Williams lives in London with her partner and their cat. She writes character-driven sword and sorcery novels with plenty of banter and magic, and her first series, the Copper Cat trilogy – concerning mercenaries, dragons, and lots of bad decisions – has twice been nominated for a British Fantasy Award. The Ninth Rain, the first book in the Winnowing Flame trilogy, was published in 2017, and she is partial to mead if you’re buying.
