J. Word was born and raised in Southern California. His formative years were spent in several of Los Angeles County's inner city neighborhoods (Compton, Watts, Inglewood, and Carson). Having always loved reading and storytelling, writing is his not so guilty pleasure.

He likes to read fiction in the crime, urban, espionage, and fantasy genres and that is what he writes. Not A Nice
