Markesa Harlan, twenty- nine years old, born and raised in Nashville Tn. I started reading urban fiction when I was in the sixth- grade. I grew up reading authors like; Wahida Clark, Terri Woods, Deja King. One of the reasons I wanted to become an author was, because I wanted my readers to fall in love with my story just like I have with so many of the books I've read. Last year I started writing on my first book, in August of 2017 I became a signed author with Ruby and Emerald publishing. In October 2017, I released my first Book The Air My King Breathes.
