About the Author

Travis Hunter is an author, screenwriter, director, and public speaker. His first novel, The Hearts of Men, was originally published in 2000 by Hunter's own company, Jimrose Publishing House. During the 2000 Book Expo America in Chicago, Hunter received an offer from Random House for the re-release of The Hearts of Men. And so began a successful evolution of published adult novels: Married but Still Looking, Trouble Man, A One Woman Man, Something to Die For, A Family Sin, Dark Child, and Momma's a Virgin. Inspired by his work with teens as the founder of The Hearts of Men Foundation, Hunter created a young adult series: Two the Hard Way, At the Crossroads, and On the Come Up which were published by Kensington Publishing Group.

Hunter is a native of Florence, South Carolina and resides in an Atlanta Suburb. He is a veteran of the United States Army and graduate of Georgia State University, where he majored in film and video and minored in psychology. Always an avid reader, Hunter parlayed his passion for the written word into a career as an author, playwright, and filmmaker. He has produced 11 published novels, an Off-Broadway stage play for the adaptation of his novel, Married but Still Looking, and a short film, which he wrote and directed based on his novel, Dark Child.
