Stephen Paul Williams

Author Stephen Paul Williams grew up in the coastal town of Pacifica, California. Upon returning from overseas military service in 1968 he moved 60 miles south of Pacifica to San Jose. Stephen is married (40+ years), has two sons, and currently resides in the San Joaquin valley of California. The author's eldest son Zachary designed the cover art for "The Journey of Three," which depicts a blurred night time background of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and a mysterious highly polished round agate stone. His youngest, Zane also loves to write, and has authored a science fiction thriller titled "Argent."

It was in San Jose, California, where the author obtained his black belt in Karate (Kajukenbo), and taught martial arts for several years at the South Valley YMCA. After a career in Human Resources, spanning over 30 years, he retired as a HR Director. Upon retirement, with more time on his hands, he was inspired to write his autobiography, "Oceana, A True Story," about unusual events, which changed his life forever. Years later, Stephen began writing a fictional saga of life, and thus was born "The Journey of Three." More about the author can be found in his autobiography.
