Shomari Black

Shomari T. Black has been writing since the First grade when he was caught plagiarizing a creative writing assignment and had to come up with something original.

He continued by writing stories to entertain himself, which is a tradition he continues to this day. He's a graduate of Columbia College Chicago where he majored in Fiction Writing and met a score of people who thought it a good idea to indulge his desire to become a writer (which is one reason why you're able to read this now).

He started writing his first novel, Sabien's Quest: The Light, when he was 16. It took him five years to complete. He believes that art is never finished, but there simply comes the day when you have to stop working on it and show folks what you've accomplished.

He considers Neil Gaimain, Jerry Spinelli, and Peter David among his inspirations.
