About the Author

Darrel A. King has been writing ever since the age of eight. His first published work of fiction was penned during the fall of 1976 as a student of Mary Field’s Elementary School on South Carolina’s Daufuskie Island. This effort was an adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkein’s “The Hobbit,” that he also wrote and illustrated. It was published in the school’s quarterly periodical, “The Daufuskie Kid’s Magazine.”
Darrel King has written stories and numerous poems, several of which were published in the 1995-1996 “Poetry Anthology” by the National Library of Poetry in Owings Mills, Maryland.
During the 90s, Darrell King became inspired by and attracted to the lurid tales of inner city crime. Dramas he read in novels by great writers such as Donald Goines and Iceberg Slim captivated his attention. These tales prompted Mr. King to begin his literary career writing his very own stories of urban crime and inner city drama.Motivation: What motivated me to write "street life" fiction was actual "real-life" experiences, coupled with the enjoyment of reading the literary works of past greats Donald Goines and Iceberg Slim as well as those of the genre’s more contemporary stars such as Vicki Stringer, Teri Woods & Shannon Holmes just to name a few. Of course Hip Hop in general and "Gangsta Rap" in particular influenced me greatly in developing the characters and story lines of my novels. But even more than that the personal interaction that occurred in my teens between me & drug-dealing relatives & friends drove me to begin writing about the briefly dazzling, yet always tragic life of the hustlers, balers & shot-callers of America’s desolute inner-cities.
