About

I am a writer and reader of urban fiction, fiction and non-fiction. Writing lives within my bones and so it is both my gift and my passion. I believe that every great author should be well informed about their craft. If you’re writing for the money it will show but if you are writing for the art you will do what it takes to learn it inside out. I was originally introduced to urban writing with the book “Makes Me Wanna Holler” written by Nathan McCall. His words jumped from the page and was an honest depiction of what I was seeing on a daily basis. I fell in love with other writers like Iceberg Slim and Omar Tyree who created the first teen book (Fly Girl) that was officially passed around my entire high school.

Though I have spent most of my earlier years reading mystery novels written for the European culture I couldn’t relate to the characters. They didn’t look like me, talk like me or love how I love. I can’t relate to their affluence and worry free lifestyles. For that reason I am drawn to the work of Black writers who depict everyday struggle, love and triumphs exactly the way I see them. My urban fiction titled “Until I see Blood” is coming soon. Check back for updates and contest!

I have finally found a genre that not only represents the daily grind of a true urbanite but a list of authors who have penned my thoughts. This blog is to inform writers of urban fiction on everything from writing their urban fiction, publishing, marketing and promoting their work. It will give what I hope is insightful information that will transform not only their writing journey but their wallets as well!!
