News : Local Author Celebrates First Book

Stephonie K. Williams of Vinton is excited to finally be able to share her book with friends and family in Iowa. Stephonie and her sister Jennifer K. Clark of Wellington, Utah collaborated for a number of years to get Mark of Royalty written and published. The book has been available on Amazon and in western states since its release in February. The book is now available in Vinton at Clingman’s pharmacy and to celebrate Stephonie will be doing a book signing on Sat. March 26 from 10:30am to 1:30pm.

Wanting to get people to know the characters and plot before the book came out Stephonie suggested that they make a music video based on the book. Last summer they filmed the video and a book trailer at the same time.

The book trailer states, “Sarah has a secret even she doesn’t know. Marked at birth with the imperial crest, her royal identity cannot be disputed. But when prophesies and politics threaten her life she is taken from her home and raised with a secret; one that when discovered will shake the kingdom to its core.”

Both authors are thrilled that so many people are enjoying their book. One reader stated, ”Beautiful adventure! I thoroughly enjoyed this book!! I can't wait to let my sisters and nieces read it as well! I loved the heroine and hero of the story! I thought it was beautifully written, clean, and so fun! I can't wait to read more from these two talented authors! I would definitely recommend this to anyone!”

Deseret, an umbrella publishing company in the west has 371 books under general fiction and Mark of Royalty is currently listed at #7. In their romance section it is ranked at #2.

Stephonie has lived in Vinton for almost 12 years and is married to Paul Williams, son of Richard and Janet Williams.
