Born
and raised in New York City's most northern borough the Bronx Shannon Holmes'
entrance into the literary world was anything but ordinary. Armed only with
a GED and the desire to change his life, Mr. Holmes crafted his first novel
and signed his first literary contract from prison, while serving a five year
sentence for various drug convictions. This was truly an amazing feat when you
consider Mr. Holmes had never even written a short story in his life. He truly
made the best of a bad situation. He first achieved success with his first novel
'B-more Careful', which has gone on to sell a half a million copies to date.
This may not sound like a lot of to the general public, but in the literary
world Mr. Holmes is platinum. By producing such lofty sales numbers, Shannon
was able to parlay the success of his first novel into a two book, six figure
deal, with publishing giant Simon and Schuster. Avoiding the sophomore jinx,
Shannon Holmes crafted the critically acclaimed 'Bad Girlz', which sold fifty
thousand copies in its first week. His next novel 'Never Go Home Again' was
hailed as best work to date. With this he achieved yet another milestone, he
became the first author of the street genre to have his novel printed in hardcover.
Since then Mr. Holmes has signed an even bigger deal publishing deal with St.
Martin's Press, it's rumored to be in the high six figures, for two novel 'Everything
ain't for Everybody' and another yet to be named novel. Since his inception
into the literary world Shannon Holmes has towered over his peers, earning the
crown of king of hip-hop literature. This year Shannon has plans on following
up his cult classic B-more Careful with B-more Careful 2 (Netta's return). Having
Venni Vetti Vecci, (He came! He saw! And he conquered!) the book game, Shannon
has set his sights on the DVD market, having recently completed a script for
his first straight to DVD movie called 'Hard White', which is sure to be a hood
classic. The movie is slated for production the second quarter of 2009.
