Jeff Williams is the editor of two books, the author of short stories and popular and technical articles on mathematics, and co-author of the screenplay for a short television movie that recreates Shakespeare's Macbeth in an orbiting space station. Since 1986, he has been a professor of mathematics and computer science at Brandon University in Brandon, Manitoba, Canada.
Dating from boyhood, Williams has enjoyed a keen interest in all things relating to World War II. His most recent creative work imagines an unlikely partnership between a young woman, newly recruited to the Allied cause, and a disaffected Austrian schoolteacher, whose mission takes them from the D-Day invasion of Normandy to the death throes of the Nazi regime in the ruins of Berlin.
