My name is Hubert Williams. I was born in 1952 in Cushing, OK. My Dad worked in the oil field as a roustabout, so we moved around a lot when I was little. A result of moving a lot I did not have many real friends so I made up a few. When I tried to be funny around the family, I usually wound up in trouble, which used to make me cry. As a teen, it made me the class clown. Both of these eras of my life allowed me to use my imagination a lot. I started writing things down but would seldom let any one read them. I would write episodes of popular TV shows of the time like Bonanza and Gunsmoke. My Dad and I would read them and sometimes rewrite them together.
As young adult, I began to make rhymes and even wrote a few poems. Most of the stories and rhymes I wrote during my first marriage were lost during a series of address changes. During my second marriage, I am sure that I wrote things, but sadly, I don’t remember much of that marriage. Most of those months are lost in a blur of alcohol. Actually, I cannot honestly remember, in either marriage, any more happy times than I have fingers on my foot. Yes, I meant to say foot.
I now live in the Philippines with my lovely wife of over twenty-two years, Lulu, and our thirteen-year-old son Gabriel. Lulu has inspired, she doesn’t like me to say nagged, me over the years to write more and save what I write. Gradually, since I retired I have decided to give in to her and published three short eBooks and several short stories. My favorite published book by me is “The Feud”. It is a very gruesome story and I have rewritten it a few times to get the story right. I even changed the books name from “Souls in the Stone” to the current “The Feud” In a way I feel that I covered many of my childhood fears and nightmares, because I have felt a great deal of relief since I published the book. The original name came from seeing pictures and images in the patterns of granite walls. Some of those images closely resembled people who had in some way hurt me either physically or mentally during my life. I changed the name to “The Feud” to remind me of the feud my reality had with my nightmares as I ventured through life.
My life has improved a great deal since I met my wife and our son was born. If Lulu had not nagged me, I mean, inspired me to write, those nightmares might have been my ruination.
