William Frederick Cooper

June 2005 - Video — AALBC.com


William Fredrick Cooper is an “ordinary guy” working as a legal assistant at one of New York's prestigious law firms. Cooper has been aptly labeled "Mr. Romance" because he is sensitive, caring and a hopeless romantic. He lets the reader see sacred truths that men hide behind when they have been damaged by love and proves through his honest depictions of the complexity of men that being emotionally sensitive does not make a man weak.  Far from preachy, these powerful prose intertwine passion with purpose.

Born in Brooklyn and raised on Staten Island.  Cooper has a daughter named Maranda and continues to live in New York City.

ISBN: 159309017X

In this powerful debut novel, William Fredrick Cooper presents a fresh perspective on relationships, shedding light on the insecurities, fears, and vulnerabilities that men try to conceal�and what can happen when they are suppressed for too long.

Just after midnight on a bitterly cold Thursday in January, William McCall is stumbling down an icy Manhattan street, wondering when things started to go wrong. As he makes his way to an empty subway station, he begins piecing together the events and relationships that have led him to this moment�alone, ashamed, and kicked out into the cold.

Realizing that he must face the past in order to restore his faith in himself, over the next six days William thinks back through the years, examining the events that led to his downward spiral. He is forced to confront memories and feelings that he has kept buried�a painful pivotal relationship, several emasculating incidents, countless ill-advised choices and mistakes, myriad insecurities and fears�and have chipped away at his sensitive, chivalrous qualities, leaving him cynical, selfish, and bitter.

A candid, cautionary tale of how a quest for romance can unintentionally transform a person into someone new, Six Days in January is an eye-opening, emotionally charged glimpse into the heart of an African-American man.
