"Faking For Stripes" New Book By Author Vernon Steward


Born in Los Angeles, California Vernon Steward was a young active go hard in the paint type of juvenile.  He started writing as a hobby, really just the lyrics of his own raps.  He always was inspired by 2Pac and his wisdom and his big cousin taught him a few things too.  After getting in some trouble and going to prison so young Vernon realized it was a major blow to himself and his family.  However while being incarcerated He grew up to be a man, a great man, an intelligent young black man at that! 

Vernon's writings didn't begin until he started his struggle day in and day out using it as a form of positive release.  It wasn't until later that he realized he could really do something with it, and being incarcerated did not always have to be the end.  Incarceration at an early age for most may have been the end of the road.  However Vernon used life's lessons as inspiration and motivation to put a pen to a piece of paper and allow his own thoughts and experiences to flow making for incredible pieces of literary greatness.

In the beginning stages of Vernon's incarceration it was hard especially being only sixteen amongst grown men, murderers, gang bangers and robbers.  It wasn't no Disneyland, but he made it and as they say "Only the Strong Survive" and he's done just that.....Survive!  Not saying any of it is easy and he has grown up a lot since those days of punching on dudes and spending plenty of birthdays in the hole. 

Today Vernon is trying to inspire others with his story and hopefully it can change or motivate at least one youngster in the struggle to do better.  "If they decide to still make the bad decisions at least be good at what you do and educate yourself", Vernon explains.  "Realize today is merely the seed for our tomorrows so if you want to see Better Days you must create them"!  "Investments, Love, Loyalty, Commitment, Education and Discipline are just a few things for you to strive for in order to be Great", Vernon went on to elaborate.
