Descended from Australian convicts, D AVID J. W ILLIAMS nonetheless managed to be born in Hertfordshire, England, and subsequently moved to Washington D.C. just in time for Nixon’s impeachment. Graduating from Yale with a degree in history some time later, he narrowly escaped the life of a graduate student and ended up doing time in Corporate America, which drove him so crazy he started moonlighting on video games and (as he got even crazier) novels. The Mirrored Heavens was written over a seven-year period, and sold to Bantam Spectra in the summer of 2007 along with the rest of the Autumn Rain trilogy.
The Burning Skies is the second book of that trilogy, but has been designed to accommodate readers who (however inexplicably) missed the prequel. Learn more about the early twenty-second century at www.autumnrain2110.com.
