About the author;
Stephen Strong was born in the Bronx and raised in Queens, New York-two places that shaped his voice, his vision, and his understanding of survival. His early life was marked by hard lessons and harder consequences, including serving eighteen years of incarcera-tion. During that time, Strong committed himself to self-reflection, accountability, and growth, determined to break cycles rather than repeat them.
Now home, he lives by a simple but hard-earned principle: never make the same mistake twice. Writing became both a mirror and a way forward-an instrument of truth, memory, and redemption. Through raw storytelling, Strong explores the cost of choices, the weight of si-lence, and the possibility of change even after long darkness.
This is his debut novel published by his first public business venture
2 Crowns Publishing. This stands as both a reckoning with the past and a testament to what's possible when a man chooses to rewrite his life.
