Kit hung up her brass knuckles, but the shadows of her past always lingered. Now they’re back to claim her.

Kit “Fadulous” Hamley, magazine editor, activist and former punk rocker, is a well-known loudmouth in St Alphege’s. She works tirelessly to hold local authorities to account. Some say she’s making up for her criminal youth. Others spread rumours of witchcraft. Very few people know how dark her secrets really are.

When an old friend warns Kit that a former rival has resurfaced, those secrets start to resurface. People have gone missing, with body parts and strange symbols left behind, and someone is stalking Kit. The gang she abandoned are scared stiff and her magic-wielding bandmates are long gone. Kit herself is a target, and if she can’t unravel exactly how this new feud connects with her past mistakes, it could kill her.

Decades older, a little wiser, and contrary as ever, Kit’s going to remind them all what a punk witch can do.

Get ready for a riotous ride into the seedy underbelly of St Alphege’s, where gang warfare and occult conspiracies tear ordinary lives apart. Dyer Street Punk Witches is a standalone urban fantasy thriller packed with tough, subversive characters and tense twists – you won’t be able to put it down.

Phil Williams

Phil Williams writes with the kind of quiet confidence that comes from knowing the world doesn’t need to shout to be strange. His stories unfold in peculiar corners of reality—whether it’s a dystopian coastal town steeped in secrets or a grimy alley where language itself holds power. At the heart of his work is an atmospheric pull: gritty but thoughtful, surreal but grounded. He’s not trying to dazzle with spectacle. He invites you in slowly, lets the weirdness settle into your bones, and then turns the lights down just enough to keep you looking over your shoulder.

Based in the UK, Williams originally studied law before the written word took over. What began as a fascination with language and control became a recurring theme in his fiction—most notably in the Ordshaw urban fantasy series, where myth, madness, and bureaucracy crash together beneath the surface of a modern city. His writing often explores the power of hidden systems: not just in government or magic, but in human nature. There’s always something lurking behind the ordinary, and he’s skilled at pulling back the curtain with just the right amount of unease.

His books often blend genres—urban fantasy, speculative fiction, dystopia—with a focus on flawed characters navigating environments that feel as alive (and unpredictable) as the people within them. He’s been praised for his world-building, but what makes it stick is how real those worlds feel—grimy, lived-in, believable, no matter how bizarre they get.

Outside of fiction, Williams has also written guides on English language usage, which explains the precision and rhythm in his prose. Whether he’s crafting an offbeat magical mystery or delving into post-apocalyptic survival, he writes with a quiet authority that lets the story breathe while still keeping a tight grip on the reins.

If you're drawn to urban fantasy with teeth, speculative thrillers with heart, or stories where the world feels just a little too real for comfort, Williams offers that rare kind of storytelling—curious, clever, and always just a little unsettling.
