I was born Tyree Roosevelt Merrill in Tampa, Fl. Like most Florida natives, I was born in St. Joseph Women's Hospital on August 27, 1995. I'm the son of Hope D. Jackson and Kevin B. Merrill. I was inspired to write by my mother, who's also a self-published author like myself. Life dealings inspired me to write because I felt my life was very interesting and at times unbelievable. So I picked up a pen, and the rest is history. My mother once told me that my antics as a toddler always amazed her, and I always walked with my chest out like a boss. I guess that trait is something that's just in my blood. I'm very family-oriented, being the uncle of six nieces and five nephews, the brother of thirteen siblings, and the godfather of one little princess. I'm also a very giving and loving individual who takes pride in everything I do in hopes that it benefits all of my family, creating a foundation for us all to be successful. I have never-ending plans for my future in all aspects of my life as well as the author portion of it. It's safe to say that you can expect many more books to be published by me in the near future.
