Meet The Author
Deon Jenkins has been putting pen to paper ever since he learned how to write. From music lyrics and poems to plays to short stories, writing has always been his passion.
When he's not writing, Deon is likely off exploring the world, with cruising being his favorite way to travel. He’s deeply committed to speaking life into others and believes in the power of words to uplift, inspire, and heal.
His personal motto says it all: “Success isn't the arrival at a destination, it's the amazing adventures, the learning moments, and the memories created while journeying there.”
Author. Storyteller. Heart Listener.
I believe stories are more than words on a page—they’re survival tools, love letters, and mirrors we hold up to the world.
I write for the ones who feel too much but say too little. For the ones who've had to be strong for everyone but themselves. For the ones learning that healing isn't linear—and love doesn't always arrive in a straight line.
Why I Wrote Finding Tyrell
Finding Tyrell didn’t start as a novel.
It started as a whisper.
A quiet voice asking, “What if someone chose love slowly, honestly... and still got hurt?”
Tyrell was never just a character. He was a question. A mirror. A reminder that choosing peace doesn’t mean avoiding pain—and that vulnerability, even when uncomfortable, is powerful.
The world of Novel City was built brick by emotional brick:
Greg’s longing. Khali’s sensitivity. Mason’s weight. James’ silence.
They each carry parts of us—some loud, some hidden.
This book is for those who’ve ever been caught in the in-between.
Of love and loyalty. Of duty and desire. Of self-preservation and self-discovery.
