Carl Weber is the New York Times bestselling author of more than
twenty novels and short stories. He graduated from Virginia State
University with a bachelor's degree in accounting and has an MBA in
marketing from the University of Virginia. A lifelong reader, Weber
wanted to write stories about ordinary people who have crazy things
happening in their lives. Now, when he's not connecting with
readers through his books, Weber is finding new talent for his own
publishing company, Urban Books. His latest venture is Urban Books
Media, a production company that produces television series based
on his bestselling Family Business and Black Hamptons series.
Mobile, Alabama native author La Jill Hunt's writing career started
as a stress reliever while working as a bill collector for a
telephone company. Then, boredom kicked in around age 30 and pushed
her into writing for the purpose of entertaining her coworkers.
This was her first step toward becoming a published author.
In 2003, La Jill tucked her pride, ignored her fears, and stepped
out on faith. She allowed God to open a door that would walk her
into an instant hit and Essence bestseller, Drama Queen. La Jill
was all too familiar with drama as her home life spiralled into an
emotionally and physically abusive roller coaster. Searching for an
outlet, she continued writing books and has released several novels
such as Shoulda Woulda Coulda, Old Habits Die Hard, Too Close for
Comfort, and many more.
La Jill took a 4-year hiatus and returned even stronger, releasing
Midlife Crisis, Imitation of Wife, Private Property, and My Mama's
Drama, also co-writing The Family Business and The Black Hamptons
books and television series with New York Times bestselling author
Carl Weber. La Jill describes her novels as "Contemporary Women's
Fiction with an Urban flair. I am a Black woman, writing modern-day
Black stories featuring Black women and Black love."
