Author Amanda Kyle Williams worked at a PI firm in Atlanta on surveillance operations and became a court-appointed process server before contributing freelance articles to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Now she’s written her debut crime novel set in Atlanta, ‘The Stranger You Seek,’ that’s already skyrocketing in sales…
In order to lend authenticity to her Keye Street series, Amanda took courses in criminal profiling and practical homicide investigation, and frequently consults with professionals in law enforcement, bond enforcement, criminal profiling and forensics.
“We do what we have to do to buy the groceries while we’re waiting for that big break. Working as a process server and with PI and courier firms in Atlanta was wonderful preparation for developing the Keye Street character,” Williams says.
“It takes time and work to find that unique voice as a writer, and for that voice to reach pitch. And more time to then develop a character that’s the perfect vehicle for that voice.
Keye Street is that character for me. She’s slightly damaged, seriously flawed; a sober alcoholic with a mighty Krispy Kreme doughnut addiction. She makes jokes to avoid intimacy. She’s more afraid of heartbreak than she is of whipping out her ten millimeter Glock. She feels real to me. The series is dedicated to my deeply southern Chinese-American niece, Anna.”
‘The Stranger You Seek’ is Amanda’s first mainstream crime novel and the first in the Keye Street series. Book Two will come in the Fall of 2012, ‘Stranger In The Room’ and Book 3, ‘Don’t Talk To Strangers,’ in Fall 2013. Williams lives in Decatur, which she says produces unending fodder for her fiction.
