Solomon Smith was born January 12, 1977, in a Harlem hospital. Raised in Harlem, he was an only child in a big extended family. Solomon was always different, and being the only child made him a natural fighter. Trained by some of the best martial artists out of New York, Solomon became a man of various talents and skills, but music, science fiction, and cooking were his passions. In 1997, he enlisted in the United States Army. Still actively pursuing his dreams, Solomon had to become a chameleon in order to achieve them, and for twenty years he did, ending in the most unexpected way. From Thrown Stones is the first of many memoirs. Solomon started writing and creating role-playing games when he was seven years old. He has written many stories, mostly science fiction, and he has written and produced music ranging from R&B to hip-hop. Solomon currently resides in Kannapolis, NC.
