Christian literature has experienced an explosion in recent years, but now there is an author destined to carve a niche in the realm of Urban Christian Fiction: Cornelia Gail. Gail was born and raised in the Mosby Court Projects of Richmond, Virginia. There she would learn the life she now writes about in her novels, My Testimony Before & After Grace, Juvey, H8ters, Girls In Da Game and Black Man Wake Up. Cornelia Gail's gritty urban tales speak truth to all of those who read them.

Gail's style of writing is true to life. She takes you straight from the comfort of your armchair and the warm glow of your reading lamp, into the cold, merciless glare of the streets of the ghetto. Using the language of Mosby Court Projects to telling effect, she reveals the stark realities of the life of under privileged African Americans. She is able to convey the despair, the cynicism, and yet, the hope and faith of the people of her world. Her books are about the choices that young adults are compelled to make; and the consequences of making the wrong ones.

Having risen above her own past of dropping out of high school, and having her first child at the age of 14, Gail is the walking testimony of what God's redeeming grace can do. Now, as a college graduate, a record-breaking sales executive, an entrepreneur, President and CEO of Girls In Da Game Publishing, and founder and executive director of S.A.V.E. M.E. (Sexual Abuse Violates Everyone: Memories Everlasting), Gail is now the poster child for over achievement, and a role model that many young girls now want to emulate.
