Tad Williams is an accomplished American author.

Based out of California, he was born on March 14, 1957 in San Jose, California. He would spend his years growing up in Palo Alto and went to Palo Alto Senior High School. He had a close family and his parents always encouraged Tad and his brothers to be creative. The nickname was given to him (his original name was Robert Paul Williams) by his mother, based on the characters in Pogo, a comic strip. The character Pogo Cashman in some of his stories is a reference to this nickname.

Tad says that he spent lots of his life growing up in Palo Alto, which was around Stanford University. He said that his parents did not have much money growing up and they were not on the wealthy side of the town, but they never suffered and were always encouraged. His mother would make up songs about what they were doing and would come up with awesome Halloween costumes for Tad to wear, such as a Viking outfit.

The author did not go to college the way that his family and friends had. He was interested in supporting himself and living on his own. Once he graduated from high school, he started a variety of different jobs that has somehow shaped his outlook on life. He made tacos, sold shoes, stacked tiles, sold insurance, collected loans, delivered newspapers, was a DJ and station music director, drew military manuals, wrote for the TheatreWorks company, worked as a branch manager in finance, and worked on other things when he had free time. These included being in a rock band for a few years, hosting his own talk show on the radio, making art both commercial and not, acting, and more.

He would also work for Apple and created a company with his colleague called Telemorphix. They produced a show called “M. Jack Steckel’s 21st Century Vaudeville” which was broadcast in 1992 and 1993 on local San Francisco television. He also created a television series concept called “Valley Vision”, which would shoot a pilot and was about a local television station.

Tad’s band was named Idiot, and he regrets that they disbanded when they were out of school and could have gone to do more, as there was a lot of creativity and talent. Some of the former members of the band still make music professionally, but Tad says that the special thing about the band was that they were unique and there was no one else like them. They would even pretend to be other bands while performing, then return back as themselves while occasionally lighting things on fire and singing about bowling and the end of the world. Tad says the band was a lot of fun.

Even though the band was fun, Tad also wanted to do something creative that would make him money so he didn’t have to keep working jobs he didn’t like just so he could get a paycheck. He kept his ambition up and kept up with his different projects, with writing getting a larger focus. He was excited and relieved when he got a letter from a publisher informing him that they were going to buy Tailchaser’s Song, his novel. He is happy every day and grateful that he gets to do what he wants for a living. Whenever pressures make him cranky, he just remembers all of the jobs he worked, like managing an art store, and feels better about it all.

Tad has since transformed into a fantasy superstar author. He has had his books sell tens of millions of copies all over the world and they have been successful enough to be translated into 25 languages. He has also released many science fiction and fantasy books series and scripts, comics, stories, urban fantasy novels, and more along the way, influencing a generation of readers and writers. His Otherland epic re-launched in 2018 on steam.com as an MMO. He has also worked in comics, working on The Next, a DC Comics six-issue mini-series. He has also worked on an Aquaman comic book as well as Mirrorworld: Rain and DC’s The Helmet of Fate; Ibis the Invincible; He is also a writer for Tailchaser’s Song, an animated fantasy movie about a cat.
