JC
Biography
Born and raised in Augusta, GA, JC played collegiate football at Fayetteville State University in Fayetteville, NC. After many years of Professional Indoor Football, divorced with 2 kids, JC decided to put his storytelling abilities to work, which included writing several scripts that were made into short films. Kwan Foya’s novel Street Dreams was a major influence in JC’s writing. Blown away by one of his scripts, Author La’Jill Hunt convinced him to write his first book.
JC’s experience growing up on Ninth Street in Augusta was an unforgettable one. His great-grandparents raised him from birth, and gave him the best life they could. Ninth Street and the surrounding hoods were crawling with drugs, gangs and prostitution. Once in a neighborhood war himself, he found his way out of that life through football and writing.
JC signed with My Time Publications and released his first debut novel, Beast. After venturing out to try genres other than Street Lit, JC met Stacey L. Moor and wrote three skits, which appeared in EROS 369 Vol. II, published by Chaklet Coffee Books. Shortly after that connection, he signed with Chaklet Coffee Books and transferred Beast under that company where it took on a transformation to put it on the level. It quickly became one of the hottest selling books in the south.
