    Morgan is a new kind of male hero, imperfect and uncertain, who—like his favorite football team—is fumbling forward into uncertainty. The 2013 Silver Medal Winner for Popular Fiction from the Independent Publisher Book Awards. Initially, Chuck worries he’ll never have a relationship again, that he could stand in the lobby of a brothel with a hundred dollar bill plastered to his forehead and still not get lucky. But as his emotionally raw, 365-day odyssey unfolds, Chuck gradually relearns to live on his own, navigating the minefield of issues faced by the suddenly single—new routines, awkward dates, and even more awkward sex. Clown will attract fans of the new breed of novelists that includes Nick Hornby, Jonathan Tropper and Tom Perrotta. Like others in that distinguished group, Robert Steven Williams delivers a painfully honest glimpses into the modern male psyche while writing about both sexes with equal ease and grace in a way that’s both hilarious and heartbreaking at the same time. "Williams has written a terrific novel. His book pulls back the curtain on male masculinity--showing us what a guy really goes through when dealing with the difficult mess of his beloved spouse's infidelity and the ensuing divorce. Williams' characters give us the real-deal: a gut wrenching and often humorous look, showing us the everyday horrors of what it's like to start all over again as one approaches middle age." - Suzan-Lori Parks, winner Pulitzer Prize for Drama "Robert Steven Williams has written a novel of tremendous honesty, humor, and insight. His story of Chuck Morgan, cast adrift on the rocky shoals of dating when his wife of twenty years suddenly leaves him, does for men what Bridget Jones's Diary did for women." - Joy Johannessen, editor for Alice Sebold, Amy Bloom, Michael Cunningham and My Year as a Clown "When we first meet Chuck Morgan, he's broken, twisted and confused. And that's what makes him so interesting. Like other intriguing literary heroes, he is at his best after life has knocked him to the ground, forcing him to find a new way to be strong again; damaged maybe, but more confident this time, with a kinder, more open heart." - Jimmie Dale Gilmore, The Flatlanders

    Then there she was… plus one. I had a plan for my life: one day rule the kingdom. Simple and straightforward. And nothing in it about falling in love. Love was never a priority. Politics. Social events. Royal responsibilities. That’s all I had time for. And hey, when I did blow off steam, my ego indulged. Art. Wine. Food… women. The truth is, though, it was more for show than anything else. Deep down, where I’d buried it, a part of me longed for more. A challenge. A companion. A missed opportunity. Never in my wildest dreams did I think we’d meet again. Ruby. My sweet, curvy American black rose… Regret was something I vowed never to feel again. So now that I know I have a daughter, I won’t allow her or Ruby to slip through my fingers. Ruby doesn’t trust me yet, but she will. I’ll make her see that I’m not the man she thinks I am. Whether she likes it or not, I will claim what’s rightfully mine… Note: Prince's Unknown Black Baby Daughter is a steamy romance between a royal prince and his long lost black American love, and includes a baby daughter he didn't know existed.
