Simon Williams

If sarcasm was your acceptable daily allowance of protein, then author Simon Williams would be a juicy 12-ounce steak sandwiched between two pieces of red meat. In a recent Facebook posting of the 37 things people regret when they die, there was only one item he hadn't done. Let go of a grudge, but he doesn't regret it.\n\nSimon was born in Townsville, Australia and all he dreamed about while growing up was travelling the world. He had his sights set on visiting Leningrad, Ceylon, and Persia but he is buggered if he can now find them on a map.\n\nHe started writing as a way of controlling his feeling of helplessness after his son was abducted to Brazil by his ex-wife. He realized the only way to keep himself going was to rely on his cynicism and sense of humor so he turned that into writing books.\n\nHe has written 9 books. None of them critically acclaimed or up for a Nobel prize for literature but that matter is neither important or useful in dealing with the worries of day to day life.\n\nHis favorite pastime is trolling his mates on Facebook. He has only every been unfriended twice. On both occasions by his current wife.\n
