Jarvis Blake writes Neo-Contemporary Fiction for Bold, Creative, & Digital Thinkers.

Jarvis Michael Blake writes captivating books of fiction, which makes perfect sense considering the delightful content on his bookshelf right now. He’s best known for crafting compelling American Romantic Dramas and engaging American psychological thrillers that truly captivate his readers. His debut series, The Secret Society of First Ladies, marks the exciting first installment of the evolving Jarvis M. Blake brand. In addition to this, he also weaves together other fictional stories that explore various subjects, from the intricacies of his own family dynamics to enchanting tales of fantasy and meticulously crafted screenplays.

Jarvis initially was a timid and introspective creative individual who boldly swore he would never publish his work, but eventually discovered the strength and comfort in his family's unwavering teachings and the heartfelt encouragement from friends that inspired him to share his writing on a professional platform. Beyond his passion for storytelling, he has spent many fulfilling years working in administrative and executive roles with Colleges and Universities, Non-profit Organizations, and Retailers throughout the Southernmost United States. Jarvis has embarked on numerous journeys across a multitude of business industries, enthusiastically discovering the vibrant energy and life of entrepreneurship and consumer interactions, and cherishing every moment of those experiences.

In his downtime, he delights in savoring Oreos, traveling to new and exciting places, and especially enjoys the delightful combination of traveling with his beloved Oreos in tow, as should all right-thinking people! One of Jarvis's favorite self-made mantras, which he holds dear, is "Nevertheless, always come out swinging!" reminding him to face life's challenges with resilience and tenacity.
