Hot off the Press! Georgia author writes

Barbara Combs Williams is a Georgia native, now residing in Villa Rica. She considers herself a rising moon in the night sky. She hopes to one day be a full moon throwing her glow over all the world.

She was raised on a farm in middle Georgia and turned to reading anything and everything as a means of escape from farm life. 

She has a degree in marketing from Georgia State University that she has never used until now. She came to writing late in life but is making up for lost time. 

Barbara loves reading all types of literature; from poetry, anthologies, nonfiction, paranormal romance and her not-so secret guilty pleasure, alien abductions.

She is a writer of urban contemporary romance/drama fiction. To her author credits are children books and an epic poem.

Barbara has several books on Amazon starting with her first publication, Soul Catcher, a dark gothic poem. 

The Color Of Your Tears, a contemporary women’s fiction novel, features the Mattock family. 

The second book in the Mattock family saga is Crystal Clear.  

Soon to be released is the third book in this saga, entitled The Darkest Grey.

 Last but not least is a children’s book, Leighanne Abigail Hortense Packracker.

Why I write - 

It started in college when my English Lit professor gave me a ‘C’ on my paper on a Shakespeare play. He told me I had no imagination and didn’t know how to write with passion or depth.  

I took that rejection to heart. What else was a 19 year old Black southern girl to do. That was a tenured professor, he must know what he was talking about. So I thought.  

I never wrote another word until depression hit me dead on at the age of 50. Uncommunicative,  my husband fed up with me said....if you can’t say out loud what is bothering you, then write it down. Those simple words were the catalyst that saved me and started me on this journey.  

I write so others know they are not alone. I write to let others know I have been in their shoes. I write to tell my story of survival so others can have hope of survival also. I write to help myself and others who may read my words. I write because I have to.   

I write everything my characters tell me to write. They speak to me and compel me to tell you their story. 

ONE SINGLE TEAR

One single tear

All I have left

One single tear

I now give to you

The years we wasted

Going about our lives

I give, you take

One single tear

I've shed enough tears

To fill several oceans

Now, all that's left

Is one single tear

Do you ever wonder

If maybe, I do know

Love alone won't last

Only one single tear

My last gift to you

Take it or leave it

Accept it or reject it

My one singe tear

Most of my poetry ends up on Instagram, but here is another one that came about after drinking too much Vodka late at night.

UNLOCKED

I locked it tight and threw away the key

Built high, strong steel walls around it

I boasted that none could penetrate 

The thick tough exterior I hid in

I loathe the sunlight that makes it shine

This lie deeply ingrained in my spirit

Flushing the truth to the surface

A light that ruins the darkness

I keep it hidden, locked inside

So small the room it hides in

None knows it even exists

The pain you cause me
