New in Nonfiction: Colleen R. Williams

 

Colleen R. Williams is the author of The Quest for Truth: A Journey of Forgiveness, a recently released nonfiction book telling her story—a story of her journey through abandonment, abuse, awareness, courage, the search for truth, discovery, and forgiveness.


Book Synopsis:

Colleen Williams was abandoned by her mother at the age of nine. She spent many years in and out of foster homes, enduring all sorts of unspeakable abuse.


Forty years later, Colleen makes the difficult decision to return to her native country of Trinidad, determined to find unanswered questions and uncover the truth behind her mother’s abandonment.


Over the duration of an exhaustive search, Colleen visits one destination after another in search of answers that hopefully give her peace. Sadly, each stop along her journey leaves her even more lost than the one before. Still, Colleen is determined to discover the truth behind the events that happened so long ago.


Her book takes you on this journey of forgiveness with her, and she hopes she can reach others who may be struggling or have struggled with abandonment, abuse, and forgiving others.


Colleen Williams was born on the beautiful islands of Trinidad and Tobago. She is an author and an inspirational speaker. Coming from an abusive past herself, she spent the past twenty years traveling to jails, prisons, and battered women’s shelters, advocating for domestic violence victims, educating them about the red flags, safety tips on leaving, and most importantly, knowing their worth. She picked up the pieces of her broken heart and hit the reset button again. Everything that was meant to break her only made her stronger than before. She is moving forward toward her purpose and breaking down doors that she thought were closed. When she is not writing, she loves to read, travel, and teach soccer.

Her book is available on Amazon, print and Kindle versions. She asks that you leave a positive review and share her story with others.

Punctuation & Dialogue Know-How

Image
  Surprisingly, many people don’t know how to properly write dialogue. What I mean is quotation marks and punctuation . The main rule is that the end quotation mark is always placed after the punctuation. Example: “I love pizza,” she said. Now let’s talk about the punctuation. If you are saying he said/she said/they said or using a name (Melanie said), use a comma before the end quotation mark. And he/she/they is lowercase. Here are some examples: INCORRECT: “I love pizza . ” she said. INCORRECT: “I love pizza,” S he said. CORRECT: “I love pizza,” he said. CORRECT: “We love pizza,” they said. The same goes for question marks. If he/she/they are asking, he/she/they is lowercase. CORRECT: “Do you like pizza?” he asked. INCORRECT: “Do you like pizza?” H e asked. If you are introducing dialogue, use a comma. Example: She said, “I love pizza.” For more on punctuation with dialogue with examples, check out this article from the Author Learning Center . Happy...

It's Ok If It's Not PERFECT

  You have heard the saying that nobody is perfect. And I believe that to be true. I also don’t think there is one perfect book out there. Even if everything is spelled correctly and there are no grammatical errors, there might be a few spacing errors or sentences that should be a different paragraph, and so on. I’m not saying this to be discouraging; I am saying it to be encouraging. As an editor and a publisher, some of my clients have expressed concern over things like it looking like an extra space between words or they don’t believe a comma should be in a certain place. I want my clients to trust me, and I understand they want perfection or as close to perfection as they can get. Even books that are “best sellers,” you may find mistakes in them, whether it’s in editing or formatting. I am not saying mistakes are a good thing, but I am saying there’s nothing to fret over. You definitely don’t want to put a book out there that has not been properly edited and proofread, but ...
