I write historical and contemporary fiction shaped by moments of upheaval—where belief fractures, loyalty is tested, and inheritance becomes a burden.
These are stories of power, consequence, and women who rewrite the rules.
Virago is a completed historical novel currently under submission.
Virago is set in Renaissance Italy, following a woman born into power but never fully protected by it.
Williamaye Jones is a novelist whose work explores power, faith, and the interior lives of women at moments of upheaval.
Her fiction returns often to Renaissance Italy—a world shaped by ambition, fragile alliances, and the consequences of belief—while also extending into contemporary women’s fiction rooted in emotional suspense.
She is currently querying a historical novel and developing a series of novellas set in Italy, with her fiction debuting in 2026. She also hosts Lust Through the Ages, a conversation series revisiting classic and forbidden texts through a modern lens.
Williamaye speaks regularly on storytelling, structure, and what makes a novel work—drawing on 25 years in publishing and a reader-first perspective on power, desire, and stories we inherit.
