About The Author
C. A. Williams was born in Houston, Texas, during the vibrant and tumultuous era of the "go-go" oil boom.
This was a time of explosive growth, where prosperity surged alongside the inevitable “boom and bust” cycles that shaped not only the economy but also the lives of those who lived through it. Growing up amidst this dynamic environment, Williams witnessed firsthand the unpredictable and often fleeting nature of success, which would later influence his outlook on life and work.
Before becoming a writer, Williams built a successful career in the investment industry, working for a number of prominent firms. His deep understanding of the complexities of the financial world gave him valuable insights into human behavior, ambition, and the intricacies of navigating both personal and professional challenges. However, after years in the corporate world, he felt a compelling urge to change direction and pursue his true passion: writing.
His debut novel, My Mother’s Keeper, marks the beginning of his journey as an author, and readers can look forward to more of his works in the future. In his writing, Williams offers an honest, sometimes raw, portrayal of life, a poignant reflection on the brevity of existence, the emotional turbulence of human experience, and the constant interplay between suffering and moments of unexpected joy. His characters and narratives serve as reminders that life is often a fleeting and complex journey, full of struggles but also brimming with love, hope, and personal triumphs.
Now based in Dallas with his family, C. A. Williams enjoys a variety of activities that reflect his diverse interests and passions. In his downtime, he can be found telling stories, speaking publicly, hiking through nature, cycling through the city, working out to stay fit, immersing himself in classical music, and attending live performances. These pursuits not only nourish his body and mind but also inspire his creative process as a writer.
