Travon Edwards is 33 years old, living in Deltona Florida. He is the author of Money Mac Murder, Project Baby, Married to the Mob, and Confessions of a Side Nigga. Travon is the proud owner of a vegan meal prep company in Florida called Vegan Takeout (@vegan_takeout) and a vegan skin care line called Liv Aesthetic (@liv_aesthetic).
He is currently signed to Gang Tales Publications, outlining the sequel to Project Baby. Although Travon is originally from Florida, he spent a great deal of his life bouncing back and forth between Long Beach, California and Deltona/ Deland, Florida. He started writing as a way to cope with the loss of his grandmother. "I went crazy. I started talking to myself. I missed her so much that I would try to daydream as vividly as I could." His first novel (Money Mac Murder) started off as a diary. "I tried to remember the earliest conversation that I ever had with her. I told her that I wanted to be rich. Not sure what that meant, but I knew I wanted it." After the success of Travon's first urban fiction novel, Stanley James from Gang Tales Publications reached out to sign him. After a couple of conversations, they came up with the concept for the story “Project Baby." "I was skeptical at first because we are from rival gangs and I could’ve swore he was trying to set me up. In an act of good faith he cut me a check before the story was even finished. This was the first time that I received a lump sum of money for my work, so the check he cut me felt like a million dollars. I didn’t have much faith in myself as an author, but the faith that Stanley has in me made me a believer in myself and my work. We went platinum in the streets coast to coast with Project Baby and we’re just getting started."
