After being sentenced to 10 yeas in the state penitentiary at the age of 18, Charles Watson started reading urban novels himself. Being born in Columbus Ohio and raised throughout the city's slums, painting a picture of the city's fast life came to him naturally. This author knows how to captivate readers with ghetto stories that deliver an insightful message. Blood Of A Gangsta Soul Of A Hustler is the first novel to be released by this author, but I think its safe to say that he's made his mark in the literary world with this series.
