About The Decks and the Road Novel Series




The Decks and the Road Series Synopsis

The Decks and the Road Novel Series serves as an extension of the already established foundation by the author NaTisha R. Williams, of characterizing ‘the decks of our lives’ and ‘the ­roads of our lives’.  The first novel in the Suspended-Release Novel Series Freeborn was released between October 2017 and January 2018.  Whereas Freeborn was a pull from the deck, Erased the second book in series, will be a call from the Road and the suspended-release is set to begin this May. 

The series begins with two of the main characters from the author’s first novel Renegotiating Kayla, and expounds on several of the characters introduced in the author’s second novel A Better Pair of Shoes.  Readers are directed to begin with the book A Better Pair of Shoes, in order to fully enjoy and appreciate the series.

The novel series covers a wide scope of life and social issues.  In Freeborn, Williams covered family legacy, fatherlessness, betrayal, unexpected joy, and boldly used her characters Tayeton Fisher and Dr. Kat Shepherd to pose tough questions about Love as it pertains to HIV/AIDS.  As with nearly each chapter, the series is expected to present many surprises while continuing the tug of war between the cards we’re dealt and the roads we choose.

Throughout the series characters will be shifted in and out of leading roles.  Erased is set to introduce a whole new set of voices, as some passive roles become pivotal. Before the road runs out on this 3-book series, the author would have covered three generations. 

For a fluid lead into Erased, Williams held back chapter 29-b of Freeborn which instinctively becomes the introduction to the second novel, and she is still holding out on the title of the third book which will be announced sometime after the suspended-release of Erased.

The series is Free online on Blogger at thedecksandtheroad.blogspot.com.  Also on the Blog, readers can enjoy award presentations for Best Male and Female Performances, Most Influential Voice, the Adam and Eve Award, and Best Character Introduction.

Introduction to Freeborn

The Decks and the Road Book 1- Freeborn Introduction “You have not seen your life, until you’ve seen a circle.” In life we take the hands we are dealt, and hit the road.  Sometimes the deck makes us a slave, and other times, the road wears us down.  Then, every now and again we get a glimpse of the Freeborn ; the beauty that is born at the round-about.  It’s a fragile beauty; a beauty that can be easily seen but not understood.  It’s the beauty you hope will be with you forever.  But, too bad; it was born free.  It comes, it harnesses the wind, it creates a line in the sky, and then, it’s gone.  The freeborn is not for the aspirational.  It’s useless to aspire to.  It’s not up to us who breathe, but it’s decided by the one who gives breath.  The generations could not purge itself to exist this way; nor could traditions.  It’s the resting of a hand—the touch of destiny; and boy is it sure to be victimized.  Yet, nev...

Freeborn: Chapters 1-3

The Decks and the Road book 1- Freeborn Chapter 1 Nathan - My father was a serious man.  He never appeared to fully relax.  His eyes always seemed to be following the movements, actions, and even the thoughts of the people around him.  I got the feeling that he hadn’t achieved all that he’d thought of achieving in his life.  Yet, he stood so tall.  He held our family up with a tight grip, and my brother and I were never really more than an arm’s length away.  In the evenings, we sat around the table waiting for him to pour out his wisdom.  My mother never sat around though.  Perhaps she’d already heard all he had to say.  I remembered a lot of what he said, but I hadn’t quite found the opportunity to share any of it.  My family looked somewhat like ours did back then, but there were secrets that seemed to keep us from gathering.  I mostly just kept my head down, and saw to it that we had everything we needed.  I ha...
