C.C. Black

C.C. Black was born and raised in Black Mountain, North Carolina, shaped by the quiet pull of the Blue Ridge and the stories carried through his family’s immigrant roots. The grandson of Mexican and Saudi immigrants, he writes with a deep sense of heritage, identity, and place.

Now living in the Deep South with his spouse, children, and three dogs, C.C. has built a career defined by heart, grit, and connection. He has written more than forty #1‑selling Young Adult and New Adult novels, with five titles reaching bestseller status. His work is known for its emotional honesty, grounded characters, and the kind of Southern atmosphere that lingers long after the final page.

Whether writing under one or both of his pen names, C.C. continues to craft stories that resonate with readers across generations.
