Author Biography

Kevon Gulley is an every day kid from Compton. I grew up in the Imperial Courts projects until age 10, then my Grandmother came to rescue my siblings and I when she found out that my Mother was doing drugs. From there i grew up on the streets of Compton and entered the Gang life. At age 17 i was sentenced to 10 years and 8 months in the California Youth Authority for Carjacking, Kidnapping, and Discharging a firearm. Only to return 3 years later with an 8 year sentence. it is during this period of incarceration that "Just Like Compton" was born. I had read all the Teri Woods novels, and a few of the other Urban authors and they all had 1 thing in common. Predictability. Instead of sitting around complaining, I decided to do something about it. Enjoy the results.
