VA. Her late mother (Barbara Lewis died in 2008) was a homemaker and her
father (Curtis Williams Jr. deceased) was a general contractor. Williams grew up
with three sisters and three brothers in which she is the elder child and she has
two other half brothers and one half sister. Her upbringing started in the Third
Baptist Church of Petersburg, VA. Williams has always had a love for horror
movies among other movies. Her late grandfather & grandmother (Willie Lewis
& Christine Lewis) had often taken many of their grandchildren to their local
drive-in-movie theaters to see the horror like “Night of the Living Dead” in black
and white. It has always been a treat and a joy of Williams to see movies of sci-fi
monster movies like “King Kong” starting from the age of 7 years old.
After graduating from Petersburg High School in Petersburg, VA, Williams
attended Virginia Commonwealth University in VA, for two years 1974-1976.
She then later transferred to Virginia State University in VA, for completion of her
Bachelor Degree in Business Education in 1982. She currently is employed as a
high school business teacher in Jefferson County, WV. She has been employed at
the same high school and she is in her 29th year. She received her Master Degree
in Strategic Leadership from Mountain State University in WV, May of 2008.
It is safe to say that Salena Williams had no idea she would write a sci-fi story
at this stage in her ending teaching career. She always had thoughts of becoming
a movie actor and a gospel singer. She also appeared in the play You Can’t Take It
With You at the Old Opera House in Charles Town, WV in 1982. As time has gone
on she has appeared in an article in which she was featured in 2007 in the Week
Ender Weekly Entertainment Guide dated Aug. 02, 2007 on Pages 7 & 11, which
was published by The Journal, 207 W. King St., Martinsburg, WV 25401, Vol. 3,
Issue 14 showcasing two of her three published contemporary gospel songs with
