Therone Shellman’s mission is to write entertaining, but insightful material. Becoming an author has been a dream of Therones since childhood. But due to personal mishaps and setbacks because, of his lifestyle he had become incarcerated various times since the age of 17. It was during the time of being locked down for the first time that he received a rejection letter from Holloway House Publishing after submitting his first attempt at a novel. That was 16 years ago. And now he vows to one day be the Jay-Z, Puff Daddy and Master P of this literature game. “I’m a play by the rules to get in. And then make up new ones as I go along. One day there will not be a reader between the age group of 18-35 that will not know who I am.” “I am the gatekeeper between fiction and reality”- are his exact words for anyone who wonders what compels him to be a writer. Third Eye Publishing Inc., one day will be the home of many successful writers. Being an author is who Therone has become. But on the other hand being an entrepreneur is who Therone is and what he has become accustomed to. It’s a rough and cold world and early on in life he learned that if a man intends to be successful than he must take responsibility and control of his circumstances.
