Essence BestSelling Author William Fredrick Cooper's Interests
|
| General | WOW, this is a good one. Well, I love to do a lot of things. One night we could be at a ballet, enjoying the Nutcracker Suite. The next night, waving our hands in the air like we just don't care listening to Jay-Z. (God, I miss BIGGIE). Bowling, basketball, movies. (I love Fred Astaire-Gene Kelly Flicks. As well as Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy.) I love to dance (think, MJ, USHER, Bobby Brown) and can do most anything on a dance floor. Athletic, I love playing sports, especially basketball. | | Music | YOU NAME IT, I LOVE IT!!! R&B, Jazz, Hip-hop, Classical & Neo-Soul. | | Movies | SEE ABOVE!!! | | Television | ESPN, ESPN CLASSICS and Turner Movie Classics. Not much on Television today does anything for me, other than 24, LAW and ORDER and CSI. | | Books | James Baldwin, Langston Hughes, Ralph Ellison, Timmothy McCann, Margaret Johnson-Hodge, Tracy Price-Thompson, Eric Jerome Dickey, Zane, Eric Pete, Bernice McFadden, Cole Riley, Cheryl Faye, Rochelle Alers, Donna Hill, Colin Channer, Chet "C.Kelly" Robinson, Darren Coleman, Vincent Alexandria, Mary B. Morrisson, Alicia M. Clark, Ann Petry, David Halberstam, David Maraniss and Mitch Albom. | | Heroes | Barack Obama, Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, Barry Bonds, Michael Jackson, The Reverend Michael A. Walrond. Just about any and everyone that uplifts our race. |

About me:
Giving my life to God at FIRST CORINTHIAN BAPTIST CHURCH in Harlem recently has me flying high in the friendly skies of Christ, but with a foot planted in reality. Thank You Heavenly Father, for putting up with my imperfections for so long.
My first novel SIX DAYS IN JANUARY established literary credibility. My second novel THERE'S ALWAYS A REASON was nominated for an AFRICAN-AMERICAN LITERARY AWARD in September, and was a MASTERS LIST FINALIST for 2008 NACCP IMAGE AWARD NOMINATION in the OUTSTANDING LITERARY WORK - FICTION Category . Featured by EBONY MAGAZINE (MARCH 2007) and BLACK EXPRESSIONS (MAIN SELECTION - APRIL 2007) and described as an "EMOTIONAL MASTERPIECE", it has been called "One of the best written novels in the African-American Community this year" by my peers in the literary industry. That's pretty cool when fellow writers say that. Appearing in many anthologies (SEE PICTURES), I'll return to the literary scene in 2010 with another compelling story under a new genre. While on writing hiatus, I'll be strengthening my relationship with God, for it is through Him that all things are possible.

Who I'd like to meet:
BARACK OBAMA! Without a doubt! I would have love to have been at a round table discussion with Malcolm X, Bobby Seale, Jackie Robinson, H. Rap Brown, Medgar Evers, MLK and Huey Newton rapping about important race issues that keep our minds enslaved in an ignorant plantation. It's a Crabs-in-the-Barrell mentality that consumes us with self-hatred, jealousy and hostility. (WHY DO WE HURT OTHERS TO MAKE OURSELVES LOOK BETTER? IT BOGGLES THE MIND) I would love to sit and talk sports with Barry Bonds and Michael Vick and ask WHY? Michael Jordan, Jerry Rice, Hank Aaron Tiger Woods, Muhammad Ali, and Jim Brown could teach me about applying legendary greatness to our everyday lives. James Baldwin and David Halberstam would have rapped to me about writing, but they're in heaven. So, I'd rather rap with Colin Channer, Timmothy McCann (YODA, LUKE SKYWALKER feels alone, Man.)Franklin White, David Maraniss and James Patterson. MICHAEL JACKSON!!!
