Jeron was born and raised in a suburban ghetto in Los Angeles County, California. Throughout his childhood, he endured being ridiculed by some of his peers because he spoke English properly, and didn't always wear the nicest clothes. The mistreatment that he experienced was the result of the misguided values that many Black people have developed, where they worship materialism rather than knowledge and achievement. Ironically, the people who spoke ill of him were often welfare recipients, crack babies, and people from less than desirable backgrounds. But Jeron’s self-esteem was solidified because of what he endured. The actions of those tormentors, and others of their ilk, gave him the strength to speak honestly without caring whether others approved of what he says. That is a valuable commodity when living in a world that is filled with phoniness.

As Jeron entered his teenage years, he began to experience harassment from the local police department. The members of that department would habitually violate the civil rights of Jeron and other Black people, because they stupidly believed the negative stereotypes that are consistently broadcast throughout the media about Blacks. They assaulted, battered, falsely arrested, and committed many other criminal acts against Black people. And many of their actions and behaviors had corollaries with the actions of overseers and segregationists during slavery and the Jim Crow era.

After tiring of being mistreated, Jeron began to fight against the racist tyranny of that police department. That resulted in him being targeted by those racists, who often paid more attention to him than they did to the criminals who blatantly engaged in illegal activity. Ultimately, those crooked cops tried to eliminate him permanently. Their actions resulted in a federal lawsuit that Jeron won.

Throughout his schooling, English and writing teachers took a special interest in him. They directed more of their attention towards him than they did to his classmates, and they complimented him on his writing, while seeking to improve it. One of those teachers was a small, frail White woman - rest her soul - who told Jeron that he could say whatever he wanted to say, as long as he supported what he said. That's ironic because Jeron has encountered sellout Black people who have attempted to silence him so that he would not offend White people. She marked up his papers with red ink that asked who, what, where, when, why, and how? That made Jeron a stronger writer because it forced him to anticipate what a reader might think, and proceed accordingly.

Upon graduating from high school, Jeron attended the University of Southern California. In college, his writing was strengthened because he learned how to use reasoning to seek out the truth behind societal issues. He is now able to see that things cannot always be explained as simply as people would like for them to be. The skills that he acquired have enabled him to provide depth to the people and issues that are discussed in his writing.

When Jeron graduated from USC, he experienced years of difficulty in obtaining employment. And that was not because he was incompetent, but because he graduated when the economy was bad; many other college graduates shared the same experience. Since it was hard for him to find a job working for someone else, Jeron began to write. That resulted in him writing and completing his first novel, which he hopes will provide him with sustenance as he enlightens the world with that and his future writings.
