Raised in the slums of Durham, North Carolina, he experienced life at its worst and knew that he wanted better for his children. Like a lot of black males from the slums, he became mesmerized with street life and as are result soon found himself in and out of jail. Being a single parent and unable to find a suitable job because of the felonies on his record, he struggles to balance his street life during the day while his son was at daycare with being an attentive father at night. Soon, his street life got the best of him and he found himself locked up in federal prison with a fifteen year sentence.
More depressed because he felt like he had failed his children, he began to vent out on paper to maintain his sanity. When a fellow inmate read his stories, he encouraged Kevin to submit them to a publisher. He thought that Kevin’s work was just as good, if not better than the urban books that were floating around. When the idea of being able to support his family from prison dawned on him, Kevin began to write feverishly.
A year later, he signed a book deal with Street Knowledge Publishing.view less
