Dr. Williams has 13 titles available for sale on her Lulu.com Storefront (http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/drni) and hosts “Poetry & Prose & Anything Goes with Dr. Ni” (www.blogtalkradio.com/drni) as well as writes her weekly newsletters, “Surviving Sheila Dennis” (http://hubpages.com/hub/SURVIVING-SHEILA-DENNIS ) and “Dr. Ni’s Notes & Nibbles” (http://www.squidoo.com/drnisnovels).

Of her purpose for writing Dr. Williams says: "I frequently do not err on the side of caution in my writing, but I believe in the purpose of it: to speak to the things others do not want to speak of, with the hopes of reaching that one woman, or her lover, or her friend, who refuses to deal with her pain, who hides from it, who doesn't think she'll survive it. That's the audience I hope to reach."
