My name is Roderick D. Talley. I was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma but raised in the cities of Cincinnati, Middletown, & Dayton of Ohio. My life, just like most other people, includes many mistakes. But as I went through life experiences and learned how our country operates & it’s history (Including the 1921 Race Massacre that occurred in my birthplace), it not only made me decide to learn from those mistakes instead of allowing them to keep me in bondage, but I also developed a relationship with God by accepting Him into my life, talking to Him regularly & reading the Bible. I realized the vast need to spread the knowledge of God’s love and that He had a meaningful purpose for my life, despite what our society labeled me to be. Now I look to lead by Godly example and apply biblical principles in all of my work and my interactions with other people.

I returned to one of my gifts in writing in 2015 and began my journey as an Entrepreneur in 2018. In April 2019, I was able to launch my first company, “R.D. Talley Books Publishing & Writing Services.” The purpose of my writing is simple: to spread knowledge of God’s love and give hope to everyone, especially the people who are ready to give up on life. I write to these people because I’ve been in that position before. I also write about my current challenges as a Man of God, including challenges with marriage, temptations, anger, and facing adversity. I address my personal challenges in hopes to reach those who are dealing with similar obstacles.

At first, I just wanted create my brand of books, being that I plan on writing several more books. As I continued learning the business side of being a professional writer, I realized that it would be a lot easier for me to do the many things I wanted to do if I were operating under an official business, thus leading me to opening this publishing company. As I continued to learn about the business, I learned that writers can be taken advantage of financially on their book sales, similar to how artists get treated in the music industry. Therefore, I set-out to ensure that each writer/artist that I work with does not get surprised with unknown fees on the back-end of their pay, and that they receive full compensation for their book & product sales.

I pray that my writing & business becomes a blessing in your life. Please stay in touch with this website so that you may stay updated on my books, videos, upcoming appearances, open mics, tours, giveaways, etc.
