A. Jarrell Hayes

A. Jarrell Hayes was born in 1982 in Baltimore, MD. He was raised in the suburbs of Columbia, MD. His love of reading started at an early age, as he read books from his older brothers in an attempt to emulate them. The computer games Writer Rabbit and Reader Rabbit pushed him to pursue writing. His first written books were handwritten and self-illustrated tales in the vein of Choose Your Own Adventure books.

At a young age he was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, which is a mixture of bi-polar disorder and schizophrenia. At times he had to be institutionalized. However, those circumstances only helped to foster the independent and entrepreneur spirit within him.
