Reviews: With respect to Magic and Other Deceptions (Gwasg Gee, 2001): "…Meaning to do no more than skim, I found myself still there an hour later, guzzling the stories one by one like sweets in childhood…" Stevie Davies, New Welsh Review With respect to Salvage (Alcemi, 2007): “…we are caught and hooked upon a multi-layered murder-mystery. There Williams feeds us little entrails to keep the haunting pages turning only to find, at each change of narrator, that we chose the wrong starter for the main course….Salvage is a gripping, unpredictable read that endears each of its colourful characters to us, flaws and all…” Susie Wild, Planet “…The novel has the distinction of being both a page-turner and one you want to savour. …Salvage is the least predictable novel I’ve read in a long time…” Sally Quilford, The New Writer “...Williams’ writing is off-beat, subtle, haunting, fresh...” Kate Long "...A controlled and gifted stylist, Williams is inventive and inspiring in her craft. Salvage masquerades as a murder mystery while exploring the less sunlit aspects of the Welsh shoreline and of the human soul. Dominant and daring in her prose, Williams relishes the act of writing and constructs five distinct characters with genres particular to each, as well as a provocative intervention of the author herself. Salvage constantly shifts the literary goalposts from crime to romance to a metafictional crisis while never losing the immediacy of the characters or the suspense of the crime...” Prof Colin Nicholson, University of Edinburgh and the James Tait Black Prize for fiction With respect to Blood, etc (Parthian, 2008) "…stories that reflect Williams’s strength as a writer…individual stories stand alone as unique microcosms – sometimes disquieting, often challenging, never static..."
