C.J. Hudson hails from Cleveland, Ohio, where he grew up surrounded by crime, violence, and drugs but was determined not to succumb to that way of living. An avid reader, C.J. was introduced to urban fiction by his then-future wife when she gave him Carl Weber's “Married Men.” Although he enjoyed his first urban fiction novel, he craved to read about the type of street stories that he saw on a daily basis in the inner city. That led him to Borders searching out street lit books where he came across a novel by K'wan.
After being laid off from his job, C.J. decided to try his hand at writing. He acquired a publishing deal with Life Changing Books. His titles include: “Chedda Boyz,” “Next Door Nympho,” “Mo Chedda,” and “Hood Luv.”
C.J. Hudson is married with two sons.
