A rare mix of artist and businesswoman, actress and science buff, writer and producer, S.A. Williams was educated in London, Paris, Madrid, Brussels, and Rome. Her unique international background has provided an unusual cultural fluency which flourishes in her novels.

After a youth spent in the great capitals of Europe, Williams returned to her native New York, graduating from Syracuse University with a degree in Psychology emphasizing Communications and Marketing. Subsequently she earned her post-graduate credentials in Global Marketing and Management, Entrepreneurship and The CEO Leadership Program from the renowned University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School as well as Global Marketing and Strategic Management credentials from Harvard Business School.

Her interest and background in business led to her establishing her own media-buying company in the Philadelphia region, after working in both radio and network television. Noted for her production of radio and tv commercials, she was also singled out by Billboard Magazine for her voice-over talent.

A veteran member of the Screen Actors Guild, who earned The Bronze, Silver and Gold Medals from The London Academy of Dramatic Arts, Williams has worked on the sets of such notable films as The Age of Innocence, The Sixth Sense, Fallen, Philadelphia, Unbreakable, Rocky Balboa and others.

Her achievements have resulted in widespread community recognition, including being named to “Who’s Who in the World” for 2001 and 2003. She was selected as one of the Governor’s Ambassadors on Team PA for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and featured in such publications as Philadelphia Magazine and the Times Herald newspaper.

In 2007, Williams was the keynote speaker for the American Bankers Association on the “Changing Landscaper of Media.” She has served on the Boards of Directors for the Wilma Theater and Dance Affiliates/Dance Celebration, which performs at the Annenberg Center for Performing Arts. Additionally, Williams worked with the philanthropic golf committee of the Philadelphia Orchestra created to raise funds for underprivileged children.

Williams is currently working on the sequel to Anna's Secret Legacy. She has lived in Syracuse, Albany, Dallas, and Rhode Island. She has been a Philadelphia area resident for over two decades.
