mysteries that also celebrate friendship, family, and/or community ties. All
stories must have happy endings.
For romance, they’re mostly looking for light contemporary stories set in the
United States and especially love to see Christmas, small town, and seasonal
themes (winter, Valentine’s Day, spring, June brides, beach reads, fall), and
want to hear about your series ideas.
They’re also interested in romantic suspense and will consider historical romance set inNorth America or the U.K. While they aren’t
looking for heavy redemption arcs, religious elements in a story are fine.
The publisher isn’t interested in paranormal romance in general, but is open to time travel or a little bit of magic.

see ideas for series.

Terrell Williams, 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!
But My Soul is Black, takes a candid look at interracial romance and the human experience. The book reveals the cultural misperceptions that harm us, and the love that heals us.
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.
