Travis Hunter is the author of seven novels of urban fiction. He initially self-published his first novel, The Hearts of Men,[1] in 2000 through his own company, Jimrose Publishing House. After shopping that book during the 2000 Book Expo America in Chicago, Hunter received an offer from Random House, Inc. The Hearts of Men was re-released through their Strivers Row/Villard division in May 2001. Since then, Hunter had six more novels published: Married But Still Looking, Trouble Man, A One Woman Man, Something to Die For, A Family Sin, and Dark Child.
A native of Florence, South Carolina, Hunter was raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and is "a veteran of the U.S. Army, he attended Clark Atlanta University and subsequently enrolled in Georgia State University where he majored in Psychology."[2] Hunter lives near Atlanta, Georgia, with his son.
