My name is Diamond D. Johnson and I’m a ten-year, National Best- selling urban fiction author, with over 100 books up under my belt. I was born and raised in tropical Miami, Florida and reading and writing has always been a big passion of mine. Some of my favorite authors are Wahida Clark, Erick S. Gray, Shavon Moore, and Nika Michelle. Before writing became my full-time job, I was going to school full time, seeking a degree in education, working part time at Publix supermarket, while reading at least ten books every month. I knew that I wanted to write a book one day of my own, but to me, I just didn’t know where to start. This was one of those things, where I had to just do it! I did so much research and nothing really prepares you and there will never be a guideline, that shows you the proper way to write your first book. The talent is deep within you and it’s just a matter of you finding that talent and being brave enough to show your creativity with the world.

 

For me, writing just started out for something for me to do on my free time. There was a strong means for me to write a book, simply because I knew I had the talent and because I would spend countless amounts of hours reading other authors crafts, so it was time for me to put my talents to work. Never in a million years did I ever think that I would have written over 100 books and that writing would be my career. I wouldn’t change this for anything in the world because when I wake up every morning, I’m content with knowing that I have a career doing something that I enjoy, even though this is a very demanding career to be in. On my free time, when I’m not writing, I enjoy spending time with my family, going to the mall, especially shopping for my daughter because I love fashion, and I also enjoy watching movies.
