With a background in nuclear engineering and software management, Williams brings a unique perspective to storytelling, weaving scientific depth into narratives that explore love, resilience, and humanity’s place in the universe.
Born in Santiago de Cuba under a repressive regime, Williams found escape and inspiration in books, science, and music. Her journey took her from developing complex models for nuclear reactors to leading advanced software projects—and ultimately, to writing a novel that challenges perceptions of life, love, and possibility. The Space Traveller’s Lover tackles profound questions: Are we alone in the universe? Can we control technology with our minds? What does it mean to love in a time of uncertainty?
In an interview with Reader’s House magazine, Williams shared that the novel took five years to complete. She balanced writing with her career by following a disciplined schedule, guided by clear goals and a deep emotional connection to her characters. Drawing their physical features and personalities in detail, she crafted a story where science meets emotion and where every subplot contributes to a powerful narrative arc.
Williams’s work speaks to values of environmental stewardship, emotional resilience, and the power of belief. “When all seems lost, don’t give up,” she says. “Fight for what you believe in with all your strength and resolve.”
As she inspires readers and aspiring writers alike, Omara Williams proves that with vision and perseverance, even the boldest dreams can become reality.
