“Twinmaker took my breath away. A triumph of thrilling action and vivid
imagination.”-Alison Goodman, author of EON and EONA
“A mind-blowing adventure about what it means to be human, and what it means
to find ourselves.”-Scott Westerfeld, author of UGLIES and LEVIATHAN
“A gripping YA thriller, coming of age and love story that transports the
reader to a future that looks a whole lot better than it really is …
Highly Recommended.”-Garth Nix, author of SABRIEL
“Twinmaker asks smart questions without easy answers, and presents a future
so simultaneously wonderful and terrible you can only believe in it–and
maybe wish you could be there, too. A thrilling, existential head trip
worthy of my favorite anime, I couldn’t stop reading this book. More
importantly, I couldn’t stop thinking about it.”-Alaya Dawn Johnson, author
of THE SUMMER PRINCE
“In a time when every second book seems to be a dour dystopia TWINMAKER is a

possibilities. I loved it.”
“Williams marries accessibly explored moral ramifications of future
technologies-a hallmark of mature science fiction-with a strong, capable
teen heroine and heart-pounding action” -KIRKUS

Shaheen at Specsonspecfic was kind enough to give me a guest post in which to talk about how Twinmaker: Jump came into being: “one idea isn’t enough for a novel, and I absolutely did not want to write a philosophy textbook. The book I wanted to write was a fast-paced thriller with a dash of […]
The convergence of 3-D printing, quantum teleportation and the Cloud suggests that soon people will be able to jump anywhere, anytime. (Watch on YouTube.)

In the coming days (starting tonight at Forbidden Planet in London, 6-7pm) there will be special limited giveaways of these awesome t-shirts. Keen an eye on Facebook or twitter for details. As modelled by the rather scruffy author. Here’s the full design. May appear in different colours once I learn how to adjust the fabber. […]
The book is beginning to circulate and reviews from bloggers are starting to come in. Wonderful bloggers! “What’s with all these male authors writing stories with young female heroines? Well, I really don’t care to be honest – because if the protagonist is as vocal, as intuitive, as tenacious as Clair is in Jump and the […]
