Firstly, my name isn't T A. It's Trevor. I write under the androgynous name T A Williams because 65% of books are read by women. In my first book, one of the (female) characters suggests the imbalance is due to the fact that men spend too much time getting drunk and watching football. I couldn't possibly comment. Ask my wife...
I've written all sorts: thrillers, historical novels, short stories and now I'm enjoying myself hugely Cozy Mysteries. I lived and worked in Italy for a number of years, married an Italian, and fell in love with the country. I set almost all my books in Italy and I hope that my love from the country shines through my work.
I‘ve lived all over Europe, but now I live in a little village in sleepy Devon, tucked away in ...more

Hi :) I have read quite a few of your books. I have a question: do you have a black Labrador ??

The answer is not now. I had a yellow lab and then a black Labrador, the best dog in the whole wide world, but he died and my wife told me she couldn't go through that again so we haven't had a dog since. Dogs are fully paid up members of the family and losing him was a terrible wrench for both of us. That's why I try to put a black lab into every book as a homage to him.
Thanks for asking and thanks for your interest in my work

This isn't much of a question but just to let you know that whenever I am feeling lonely or bored (which is often during this pandemic), I look for one of your great romances in either Italy or France. Where is your favorite place for romance?

It's really nice of you to take the time to contact me. As far as romance is concerned, the place is really far less important than the person but there are, I have to admit, a few places that do definitely lend themselves to romance. I suppose my number one would probably be Venice. There is something about the place – as well as romance, there is history, culture, tradition and just the sheer outstanding beauty of it. As far as my own personal experience of romance is concerned, I met my wife in the classroom (before you write to the authorities, I should point out that I was teaching adults in an evening class) so maybe a classroom should be added to the list after Venice.
Thanks again for getting in touch and I am delighted you like my work. Trevor(less)

Confessions of a blog virgin

If anybody out there happens upon this, please forgive my inexperience in such matters. This is my first attempt at blogging. Or should that be blog posting? Or maybe posting a blog? Or on a blog? Anyway, since Carina UK published my first book (Dirty Minds) in the autumn of 2013, I have been on a very steep learning curve as far as social media are concerned. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would sugges Read more of this blog post »

T.A. Williams answered Jennifer Sodaro's question: I just want to thank you for the grace in your work. It is such a pleasure to take the journey with you to these wonderful places and great characters. As to the doggies, we lost our little dog, Inky Dinky, after 17 years and cannot bear to lose another, so I understand! Have you ever visited Palm Springs, California? There is a shop called "Grace" named after the chocolate lab, Grace. She is sweet Hi Jennifer. No, I'm afraid I've never had the opportunity to visit California. I've seen enough views of it on TV to be sure that it's a lovely place. Yes, naming a shop after a dog strikes me as immensely sensible. I'm delighted you've been enjoyin See Full Answer
