About the Author

Alvin Ashby Jr. graduated from Clemson University in 2013 with a BA in Architecture and a minor in music. Creative and performing arts have always been an integral part of his life and have constantly provided an enjoyable outlet for self-expression. Throughout his childhood, Mr. Ashby occasionally wrote short stories, comics, and other aspects of creative writing. His latest endeavor, The Black Umbrella, was spurred by pivotal events that occurred shortly before he graduated from college. The story, which is loosely based off of those events, serves as Mr. Ashby's first attempt to have his work published. He would love to hear from anyone who has already read the novel via his Facebook page "The Black Umbrella" and would greatly appreciate it if you took the time to write a review on Amazon.com

Mr. Ashby currently resides in the Charleston area while he interns with an architecture and engineering firm. He will be attending Georgia Institute of Technology beginning in the fall of 2014 to pursue his master's degree in architecture. He is currently working on a second title that he hopes to release by early 2015. For more about Alvin Ashby Jr. and his work please visit or follow him on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
