Meet the Author

Charles Burgess, born August 15, 1970 in Providence, Rhode Island, moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, as a child and attended high school at Pulaski, North Division, and Washington. Upon finishing high school, Charles decided to take a Bank Specialist job at State Farm Insurance Company. While working there, Charles completed his first book titled, “Homies”.

Since then, Charles has taken the literary craftsmanship more seriously and began writing novels fulltime. “Don’t Say You Do If You Don’t” and “Bee-Wildered” are the recent titles completed by Charles Burgess.

Now 40 years of age, Charles is currently single and has chosen to dedicate his time to completing a seven book series titled “The Ghetto Sopranos”, while also working on more titles for in-between releases. Cricket & Honey, Instant Message Me, Trigger Words, Say What You Mean and Mean What You Say, are just a few that Charles has in the pipeline.

Charles enjoys helping others manifest their craft in the writing world. He started Underground Publications, which took on a few first time authors and helped them release their books. In 2010, Charles decided that he would slow down the pursuit of other authors and focus on traveling with his own work.

Note from the author:
“I hope everyone who reads this story really enjoys the book. I call it my crossover since I have been strictly delivering urban romance. Book two, “Six Laws to Power” will be released soon as well. Thanks for your support, I love you.”

    Interesting

    A mafia style book from a different perspective. A young Black man follows in his father's steps in order to be the new Drug Lord of the Hood. He meets trials and tribulations along the way. It's done with feeling and makes you root for the so called hero.
