It was an adventurous, rewarding life but something was missing. “I remembered the plays I had written at school and that long buried ambition also to be a story teller. I began to write up my diaries of my desert excursions, attempting to publish a book on my camel expedition. That idea failed, but I had picked up a writing habit on weekends and public holidays and in 1997 I started my first novel, loosely based on my family heritage in China—which I finished in 2002.” In 2003 it was published by Hodder & Stoughton as ‘The Palace of Heavenly Pleasure’.

While continuing to live in Beijing working for Jardines, he now spends several months of the year in Italy where he bought a house for writing. Several more books followed. ‘The Palace of Heavenly Pleasure’, set in the Boxer Rebellion, became the first in a trilogy.

那是一種很有意義的冒險生活，但是總覺得缺少了點什么。“我記得自己在上學(xué)的時候?qū)戇^戲劇，那個時候野心勃勃，勵志要成為一個講故事的人。我開始寫我的沙漠旅行日記，試圖出一本關(guān)于我的駱駝探險隊的書，結(jié)果失敗了。但我逐漸養(yǎng)成了在周末以及節(jié)假日進(jìn)行寫作的習(xí)慣。1997年，我開始寫我的第一本小說，內(nèi)容大致基于我們家族在中國的生活。這本小說于2002年完成。”2003年，該書由霍德&斯托頓出版公司出版，名為《天樂院》。

現(xiàn)在，威廉姆斯除了繼續(xù)在北京為怡和集團(tuán)工作之外，每年還會抽幾個月到意大利一所他專門買來進(jìn)行寫作的房子里待幾個月。于是便有了之后的幾本書。以“義和團(tuán)運(yùn)動”為背景的《天樂院》，成為了三部曲中的第一部。
