About The Author

Terrell Williams began life as the 2nd eldest son of 9 children (4 girls and 5 boys) and was reared in less than affluent circumstances. The second in his immediate family to graduate from college, he went on to marry a wonderful woman, and who eventually became the proud parents of 4 children (3 girls and 1 son who is also his namesake).

Mr. Williams enjoys reading and writing poetry, and he has written several plays that have been performed and were well received in Texas. The idea for his debut novel, But my Soul Is Black, lay dormant for many years until Mr. Williams finally finished the novel upon his retirement, fulfilling his dream of becoming a published author. His romantic tale tackles controversial topics such as interracial relationships, generational differences of conceptual thinking about life and love. This novel seeks to remind the readers of the interconnectedness we share as humans, as well as showing that truly, love transcends all!

Bobby has high hopes for his new life in Detroit, and he will not, under any circumstances, blow his chances by messing up a prime job opportunity at his uncle’s construction company. But his first meeting with his mentor, African American foreman Jimbo, turns out even worse than expected when it becomes apparent that Bobby is learning the ropes to become Jimbo’s boss.

As Bobby tries to navigate Jimbo’s understandable resentment, he must also wrestle with the misperceptions of Black culture that his Caucasian family has passed on to him. Eventually, the two men become friends as Jimbo recognizes that Bobby doesn’t hold the prejudices of his uncle.

But just as things start to smooth out, Jimbo introduces Bobby to the kind, clever, and stunning Karen—Jimbo’s favorite woman to string along. Confused by his strong feelings for this intriguing woman and frustrated with Jimbo’s flippant treatment of her, Bobby struggles with whether to pursue Karen…at the cost of ending his newfound friendship with Jimbo and sabotaging his future.

Taking a candid look at interracial romance and the human experience, …But My Soul is Black reveals the cultural misperceptions that harm us—and the love that heals us.

Inside the Mind of the Author by Terrell Williams

Authors are often depicted as serious introspective individuals with big glasses, but a fiction novelist can be anybody with an imagination. I’m a serious kind of guy, some may say that I’m a bit of an intellectual. But there is always another side to the coin. My imagination takes me to places that others dare not to go. I like dealing with tough topics. It gives me an opportunity to make a statement without being intrusive.

I’ve found that as an author and playwright, you can get your message across more effectively if you couch it in something familiar like everyday life. I’ve been around for a while, so I have a lot of experiences to pull from and I’ve learned a lot of life lessons that I want to share with others. One of my favorite quotes from Rick Warren is, “Experience is not what happens to you. It is what you do with what happens to you. Don’t waste your pain; use it to help others.” 

Life doesn’t have to be mundane, especially if you use your imagination to bring change and happiness for the betterment of the lives of others. I am a man of faith and it is my general belief that there are redemptive qualities in “all” men. Yes, the scales are tipped for some, but we determine ultimately if we are going to bring balance to those scales. Rick Warren also says, “We are products of our past, but we don't have to be prisoners of it.” You can walk in your purpose but sometimes it takes you being intentional about reaching your maximum potential. Distractions will come, but if you are focused on the goal, they won’t stop you from succeeding. It took me five years to write my book, but I was determined to get it done and now that’s it’s done, I can proudly wear the title of author.
