Levi James Baldwin III has been writing for about thirteen of his twenty five years.
He's originally from Springfield, Massachusetts and recently (one year ago) moved
to California to finish writing his first novel. He's an artist of all trades
and enjoys writing poetry, short stories, music lyrics and novels.
The only male in a family of two sisters one younger one older. At the age of
seventeen, he left Springfield behind and joined the U.S. Marine
Corps. Through the Marines he had the chance to live in Japan, Okinawa and
several parts of the United States. After the Marine Corps he did security back
in Springfield for several months while attending junior college preparing for
university acceptance. During this time he worked with people at the Learning
Tree and got a scholarship to college.

He studied BioChemistry with a minor in
education at Springfield College for three years. During this time he hosted his own
three hour radio show on the college station and had some of his short stories
published through the Art magazine called The Alden Street Review.
He said "I ended up departing S.C due to finances, and set my eyes westward, to
pursue dreams of writing success. My first few months out in California were
spent in Oakland and Berkeley. In both places being a new face, with no
friends and family made life hard, but i endured.
Over time I made friends, got a job that i enjoy (working for a radio
station) and live in a comfortable neighborhood with a cool friend."
He says "currently I'm working on my second novel while also attempting to finish a
book of poems. In the spare time I'm not working on either of these to
books, I'm working with my producer on my album. All this activity leaves me
little time for a social life, but leaves me quite happy."
