Video Interview ~ Lacy Williams

Born in Oklahoma City, Lacy Williams grew up near Calumet, Oklahoma, but her family moved to Edmond when she was twelve. Homeschooled K-12 grades, Lacy graduated cum laude from the University of Central Oklahoma in 2006. After working in the banking and public accounting fields, Lacy elected to stay home with her daughter. She and her husband are expecting baby #2—a boy—in September.

Lacy’s journey to publication started in high school, when she successfully completed a course on “Writing for Children and Teens” through the Institute of Children’s Literature. After a hiatus from writing during her college years, in 2006 Lacy began seriously pursuing publication and joined the American Christian Fiction Writers, a national organization. Through ACFW, Lacy met local writers, entered writing contests, joined critique groups, and attended writing conferences. In 2009, her novel won the Genesis award and was requested by the editor that eventually bought it. Now, Lacy is President of her local writers’ group and gives back by judging writing contests and mentoring other writers. Lacy also teaches writing courses part-time at Francis Tuttle.

Lacy loves to hear from readers. She posts short stories and giveaways at her website www.lacywilliams.net and can be found on social media at www.facebook.com/lacywilliamsbooks and www.twitter.com/lacy_williams.
