Geryn Childress is a #1 Amazon bestselling author, with all 4 of his children's books topping Amazon's 100 bestsellers list for over a month. Geryn Childress was born in Ypsilanti, MI and shortly thereafter moved to Shreveport, Louisiana with his mother and older brother. He played a Doctor on popular television show Angels Of Mercy with Blair Underwood and Vivica A. Fox, and started his own production company "Melanin Productions" in 1993 which he has since moved to Paris France. He spent the majority of his teenage years in Pontiac Michigan, which he still considers his hometown even though he resides in Paris France. In 2011 he teamed up with "The Water Project", a charity that builds wells in poor communities throughout Africa. He is truly thankful for all ways God has blessed him.

Inspired and fueled by his desire to carry on his mother's legacy (she was a TV producer and writer as well) who lost her battle with cancer in 1998, his father passed away a few years after that. Geryn hopes to inspire not only youth but everyone around the world to focus on the positive aspects of their lives. One of his famous quotes is "Life will always throw you curve balls, it's how you swing the bat that will determine whether you hit a home run or foul ball". Geryn is determined to inspire, encourage, and entertain readers of all ages with his stories from the "Childress Children's Book Series".
