John H. Williams

John H. Williams was born and raised in Baltimore City, home of "The Wire." Born almost 3 years to the day before the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and African American grandson to a white man baring the same name, John claims a vast and varied life experience.

John grew up in city housing and his writing graphically depicts, through experienced eyes, the life and times and experience of a boy turned man, turned grieving parent in a city destined to remain front page news for some time to come.

His writing is said to be tangible, as if one could touch or smell the words on the pages. He is known for grasping the reader by the hand and pulling them, willing or not, into the fray.

Captivating, surprising, bold, and baring all, are but a few of the words that come to mind with reference to his writing.

More about John can be found in his first book, 'And We WALK!"
