S.F. Williamson
S. F. Williamson is fascinated by the way languages are born and was surrounded by them long before she undertook a degree in French and Italian.
Buy books on Amazon
From her Grandma’s rolling Scottish R’s and her Nan’s ability to slip from English to Welsh, to the dialect spoken in the French village she grew up in, Steph has always known that languages are creatures that live and move and breathe.

Her debut novel, A Language of Dragons, is inspired by her work as a literary translator and the fact that no matter how intimately a linguist knows their languages, some meaning is almost always lost in translation.
