Denise Williams

Denise Williams is a romance author from Des Moines Iowa best known for her debut novel “How to Fail at Flirting.” She started writing when she was a second-grader and wrote “I Hate You” and another soon after titled “I Still Hate You.” Her novels featured a quirky hero, a funny and tough heroine, and a dragon. Denise still likes to write novels that fit that description but without the dragons. As a teenager, she went to college and then earned a doctorate in education and went on to find work in academia. After a childhood spent as a military brat in which she spent a lot of time moving across the United States and the world, she now lives with her husband and child in Des Moines Iowa. If she was not an author, she would still be working in academia as an administrator which is her day job. She believes that writing romance has made her better at academic writing as she is more proficient at book critiques and peer review of academic articles. She wrote her debut novel “How to Fail at Flirting” in 2020.
