Author C.J Hudson hails from the east side of Cleveland where he grew up surrounded by crime, violence, and drugs. Determined to not succumb to that way of living, he attended Kent State University for one year. An avid reader for the past eighteen years, C.J was introduced to urban fiction after reading a street novel that strongly resembled stories that he saw on a daily basis in the inner city. That's when he started going to Borders and searching out Street lit books. He then went on a reading barrage and read everything on the shelves. Shortly after, C.J. decided to try his hand at writing. After writing his first manuscript entitled Skeletons, he wrote the manuscript that got him a publishing deal with Life Changing Books, Chedda Boyz. He is currently hard at work on a future novel. He is married with two children.
