The Space Traveller’s Lover

Since a very young age, Author Omara Williams has had a passion for science and technology, reading and writing.

She would spend hours each day imagining characters and situations and then write for hours. She would find inspiration in everything around her when writing stories, even the shapes of clouds or constellations in the night sky.

Author Omara Williams’s favourite subjects were fiction and adventure, and she found herself drawn to authors such as Jules Verne, Isaac Asimov and Alexander Dumas.

At 17, she completed their first handwritten book, a collection of children’s stories that her friends and family enjoyed. However, she had many other interests and hobbies, so she did not see writing as something she should pursue and instead viewed it as a pastime.

Author Omara focused her efforts on her university degree, her passion for software programming, and her astronomy projects. Writing became something she did occasionally and nothing more.

Years after that first book, she wondered, “What If..?” She firmly believes it is never too late when you are determined to achieve something, so she started to get back into writing while working full-time.

But she found the creation process so enjoyable and satisfying that she had to write something every evening after dinner and at weekends. She started to set targets and goals and to take her writing seriously.

Her book “The Space Traveller’s Lover” was published five years later, and she hopes readers find it as fascinating as she does.

Omara Williams holds a BSc Honours degree in Nuclear Engineering from Havana University and several Information Technology diplomas from Leeds University, and she is currently an award-winning software manager.

When she is not working, she enjoys watching the night sky, investigating ancient alien theories, and chasing total solar eclipses.

Omara lives with her husband and daughter in Cambridge, United Kingdom.
