Jill joined Stephanie Morrill on where they blog for teen writers five days a week Jill published her first novel, By Darkness Hid, in April 2009Ī major theme in most of Jill’s novels is finding your purpose in life and respecting your dreams Jill wrote half a book and tried–and failed–to sell it in 2004 Come visit Jill on her Facebook author page or on her website at, where adventure comes to life.

She lives in Oregon with her husband, two children, and a whole lot of deer. She speaks and gives writing workshops at libraries, schools, camps, and churches. Jill loves working with teenagers and encouraging them to respect their dreams. Her debut novel, a medieval fantasy called By Darkness Hid, won an EPIC Award, a Christy Award, and was named a Best Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror novel of 2009 by VOYA magazine. But the winter months left little to do but daydream. Thankfully it was the land of the midnight sun, and she could stay up and read by the summer daylight that wouldn’t go away. She grew up in Alaska with no electricity, an outhouse, and a lot of mosquitoes. Jill Williamson is weird, which is probably why she writes science fiction and fantasy novels for teenagers.
