Born in Washington DC, Roland Jefferson was raised in Los Angeles. In 1976 he tried his hand at writing fiction. His first novel, The School On 103rd Street was published to critical success, taking its place along side the works of acclaimed authors Sam Greenlee and John Williams. It has been published three different times in the US and simultaneously published in Germany, while garnishing numerous awards and accolades including its selection by the Los Angeles Times Book Review for inclusion in its ‘Guide to Literary Los Angeles 2001.'
A prolific author, Roland S. Jefferson continues to write novels in various genres, all of which are invested with compelling modern day themes and dynamic multilayered characters that demand your attention. Whether its stories of contemporary Middle Eastern terrorism in 559 TO DAMASCUS; a casino heist in A CARD FOR THE PLAYERS; an art-deco hotel robbery with romantic triangles in DAMAGED GOODS; the frame-up of a female lawyer by corrupt police officers in the contemporary crime noir ONE NIGHT STAND; or the obsession with 1960's middle-class values in his latest novel WHITE COAT FEVER. Roland S. Jefferson’s novels span such a diversity of human experience with edgy characters so highly charged that just reading about them is an adventure in itself.
Semi-retired from a career as a forensic psychiatrist, the author resides in Los Angeles.
