Hood Chronicles (Forsyth, Georgia)

Hood Chronicles is an African-American author known for his popular Black Love series. He began his writing career while serving a life sentence for murder in prison. As a troubled teen, Hood trafficked weapons, dealed drugs, and was labeled a "menace to society," by local law officials in the state of Georgia.

While serving his sentence, Hood spent a lot of his early years in solitary confinement for his violent behavior. Initiating a riot, he was stabbed and given new charges to face. Ultimately, he overcame what he was facing and realized that he could die if he continued treading the path he was on. A six month stint in the hole introduced him to Sidney Sheldon's Master of the Game novel. Fascinated, Hood wondered if he could ever put together a work of art as such. Failing miserably at it, it wasn't until he read Terri Wood's True To The Game that he found his niche.

He wrote his first novel in 2003 and as of to date, still has yet to release it. In 2013, he self published his fifth title as his debut release entitled, Black Love AKA Juicy, thus, giving birth to his publications company, Worldhaven Agenda. Since then, he has released over 30 titles.

In addition to his own writing career, Hood has published the works of rappers and p**n stars in the entertainment field while also launching the careers of aspiring authors looking to leave their marks in the literary industry. Also, he has been fortunate enough as a ghostwriter to have penned over 60 titles for several others.

Currently, Hood Chronicles is still incarcerated and patiently awaiting parole. In the meantime, he has not and will not allow his environment to dictate his future. Looking at all in which he's accomplished behind barbed wire fences, he remains confident in continuing his positive change when granted a bigger playing field. From a gangster to a gentleman, Hood Chronicles will forever remain the physical embodiment of growth. Therefore, support his work, Worldhaven Agenda, and prepare for his inevitable takeover!
