J. G. Williams is my Woman In Horror today! In addition to writing horror, Jackie writes children's books and poetry. Another part of the mystique that is Jackie. I love the Welsh wording in her tales. Don't ever say she is English! One of her monsters will come up and beat the living crap out of you!
How good is Jackie? She is one of only a few authors to have stories in all of the Satan's Toybox series from Angelic Knight Press. That says a lot.
Jackie is one of those great people who is active in the writing community plugging other authors' work. She is everywhere, sharing posts and links and always having a kind word for everyone. There is a group on Facebook called The Graveyard. Jackie is one of the administrators there and is always helpful to the new members, assisting them in many ways, inviting them into the group, and more. Since I have started out my little adventure into Women In Horror, she has responded to every one of my posts, as well as for those my friends have posted.
Like me with my grandfather, her love for the written word came from her father who spun tales of ghosts and ghouls for her pleasure. I feel sorry for people who have not been blessed by the exquisite luxury of being front and center, and even bouncing on a knee in rapture, as magic is weaved from someone you love. This is a lost art, but Jackie captures the magic and majesty within her written words. Oh, the joy!
A quote from Jackie:
"I write because my heart is in it. I was asked why I write the other day, and that was my reply." Jackie Williams

Great collection of truly scare short stories by Jackie G. Williams. The first story, Outcasts, was my favorite. A dystopian tale of a government taken over by alien beings and how it affects one small family. Each member of the family, including a father, mother, a young boy and twin girls, demonstrates some aspect of how the end of their world affects them. Jack the father experiences the desperation of being unable to protect his family, and his wife Amy, a homemaker, feels the unreality of the situation until she's faced time after time with the facts. Williams' words left a rock in the pit of my stomach and damned if that's not just what she intended to do. The entire collection is filled with gems like Outcasts, well worth reading.

I'm a sucker for a good spooky story and this creepy book by author Jackie Williams was exactly what my (sometimes) deranged mind craved! Highest Hill is a mixture of thrills and chills that I couldn't put down. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good read to snuggle under the covers with - just make sure to leave your light on! ;)
The protagonist is a sweet little boy who gets bullied and has parents who care more about their liquor than their child. His favorite place to escape is Highest Hill, but this place of serenity isn't what it appears to be. There be monsters lurking about!
What I loved about this book is the way the author takes you along in the story and you get to know each character in the book. None are passed over. This wasn't a very long book, somewhere between a novel and short story, (but I am a fast reader). However, by the end, I felt as if I knew the characters personally.
This book would appease anyone who loves horror and paranormal with a touch of fantasy. The ending is complete, but it did leave me to wonder if there will be a second book. I need to know what happens to my young friend now! That is a question only the author can answer, but I will be keeping tabs and look forward to reading more of her stories!

Book Synopsis:
A Feast of Horror is an eerie combination of evil, blood, lust, revenge, evil children, and craziness, written as short horror stories and horror poetry. Each story is a different nightmare brought to life. Take for instance Emelia. She is a beautiful child who has a future in modeling, but she has secrets. She likes to kill animals and just loves eyes. Sophie loves to cook, and when she tries a new recipe, she makes something Explosive. And then there’s the Maniac Clown. Be careful who you invite to your child’s next birthday party! This spine-chilling read is filled with horror, a dash of humor, and a lot of twists.
Author Bio:
J G Williams grew up in Wales and currently lives in the small village of Llanhilleth with her husband Bill. She has three grown up children and five lovely grandchildren. She would like to say an extra thank you to her son William, who has inspired and motivated her to write this book.

The great cover art drew me in to this one...the stories kept me turning the pages!! This book is packed full of lots of creepy and disturbing horror short stories. I would have a hard time trying to decide which was my favorite! Wonderfeed is close to the top of the list for me....it is pretty shocking and will stick to your brain long after you finish! In Mother Green Teeth you will never guess what came out of that cave! I could keep going- there are no bad stories in this collection!! Excellent writing!

There is no doubt that J.G. Williams is a Woman In Horror!
