Geoff Williams became a freelance journalist shortly after graduating from Indiana University. But he always wanted to write books – and began gravitating toward obscure but compelling nonfiction topics. For instance, his first book, not sold in stores, was a for-hire project about the guy who invented the machinery that allowed soda pop can tabs to be mass produced. But by 2007, Williams was writing nonfiction titles that were sold in stores, and with insanely long subheads, starting with C.C. PYLE’S AMAZING FOOT RACE: THE TRUE STORY OF THE 1928 COAST-TO-COAST RUN ACROSS AMERICA. In 2013, he wrote WASHED AWAY: HOW THE GREAT FLOOD OF 1913, AMERICA’S MOST WIDESPREAD NATURAL DISASTER, TERRORIZED A NATION AND CHANGED IT FOREVER. His latest book is THE SUMMER OF DEATH: THE GREAT HEAT WAVE OF 1936 AND THE MAKING OF MODERN DAY AMERICA. Williams is the father of two daughters and lives in Loveland, Ohio with a deceptively cute cat who has sharp claws and teeth.
