Author Bio
You can say Chase is a father, avowed revolutionary, and author in that order. Born and raised in Bridgeport, CT he grew up in a proud Afro-indigenous family from the deep south with strong roots to the military, activism, and public service.
Growing up Chase; marched in protests, canvassed for political campaigns, and was active in church. He played football, lacrosse, and moved from fencing into discovering a lifelong love of historical martial arts! Admittedly Chase found himself on the wrong side of the law as a teenager and young adult. While raised with a W.E.B Dubois-esque “Talented Tenth”, sense of responsibility, friends say he spent his younger years pretty much being Huey and Riley of the Boondocks at the same time. Thankfully, he’s managed to take his youthful penchant for “being about that life”, and channels it into his books, and passion for social justice.
After years in the indie hip-hop scene as The Legendary Thug Poet, he was forced to put the mic down after a near fatal car accident left him with a traumatic brain injury. Now he mainly sticks to activism, historical martial arts, and writing great books, while proudly serving as Managing Editor of SF/For the Culture; the fantasy, sci-fi, and speculative fiction side of W. Clark Presents Innovative Publishing!
