KingV
KingV was introduced to urban literature at a young age and fell in love with authors such as Donald Goines, Iceberg Slim, and Sistah Souljah, among many others.
Reading and writing has always been a passion for Valiant. Reading was a way to escape the harsh reality of growing up in Newark, New Jersey in the 80s, a safe place to be himself. Valiant was the kid who liked to hang out in the library during his lunch period. Later, he began reading other books like Frankenstein, Dracula, and comic books. Valiant started writing short stories around 1993 and continues writing today. If he had to summarize his writing style, he'd say that it’s a mix of contemporary and urban fiction, and erotica. |
