My Literary History.

Hi everyone, my name is J. C. Jenkins Jr. I was born in New Orleans, Louisiana on August 22, 1980. I grew up with a love for reading at a young age.

I struggled in school due to Mental Illness I preferred to be left alone. Let’s face it I am not the only one.

I noticed that a young age that I had a vibrant fantasy life. I used to live stories in my mind. Since I didn’t know how to write them down, they stayed in my mind.

It wouldn’t be until 2001 that I started writing down my stories.

But I am getting ahead of myself.

The thing is, I never learned how to write. It’s true, the last Grade I completed was the third grade. Special Ed wasn’t a good mode of learning in the 80s and 90s.

I had to put up with bullies but I rarely ever fought back. Like I said I just wanted to be left alone to think. The only time I did fight back was when I was 8 and t best up my bully was when he hurt my friend. She was only 6.

I got so angry I blacked out I was so mad that he harmed her.

I only know about this because several years later he was in my class again and confessed to my class that I had best him up for hurting a little girl.

He seems to have turned out alright although I haven’t seen or talked to him since 93.

No he didn’t do anything wrong, I just never had the chance to ever talk to him again. I would if he wanted to.

Back to how I became a writer. Well I started reading novels when I was 12. I would read obsessively for the next several years. It wasn’t until I started reading Dragon Lance Novels that I really started to want to write.

This was when I was 19. By January 2001 I started building my World of Six Moons. If it wasn’t for Dragon Lance I may never have even started writing.

It would be another 16 years before I publish my first novel titled Night Stalkers under the Name J. C. Jenkins. A year later I would publish my Second book titled Collective Works Vol. 1 under the name of J. C. Jenkins Jr.

Right now I am working on 30+ different stories at one time.

More on this on my next post.
