Popular Answered Questions

What made you decide to write about a soldier in WWII? There must have been a great deal of research involved. The people and story feel very real, sometimes painfully so, which makes the uplifting tone all the more incredible. I've known you as an educator but never knew you were a writer and I am impressed.

After listening to Bruce Springsteen's song " The River " the beginning fell in place. I did do considerable research. The Holocaust Memorial Resource and Education Center in Maitland was invaluable. Although this may sound hoaky , I really do feel the characters when I am writing about them. They become very real to me. I guess that's why I enjoy talking about them with people who have read the book.(less)

Shallow Creek

Check out my latest novel entitled " Shallow Creek." Author Bob Morris writes, " Williams shares a riveting saga that spans more than half a century in the backwoods of East Tennessee, a story of young love, old prejudices, courtroom conflict, and a nod to ' Ode to Billie Jo' along the way. It's a gripping and compelling tale told by a writer who knows the ways of the heart."
