Writing
became an escape for King at an early age. His love for writing started
with poetry as a teen. That love for word-play was inspired by 1997’s
urban classic, Love Jones. While attending the University of Tennessee
at Chattanooga, King took a freelance writing class where he learned the
art of storytelling. In 2002 he received the “Shakespeare Trophy of
Excellence” and “Poet of the Year” honor, recognized by the Famous Poet
Society. Most recently King received the 2013 BWABC Male Author of the
Year Award.
King
believes his novels and poetry through MDK books will become staple
options to be entertained and educated as it pertains to the African
American community. With his deep love and passion for the progression
of the urban community, King believes through word he will make a
difference.
