Queen Bitch: Part 4 (Bitch Series) (27 page)

Deja (Joy) King was born in Toledo, Ohio, and raised in
California, Maryland, North Carolina and New Jersey. Ms. King
represents a new breed of writers producing young, hip and sexy
novels that introduce readers to street life in all its complexity
and also takes readers behind the velvet rope of the glamorous,
but often shady entertainment industry.

Ms. King attended North Carolina Central University and Pace
University, where she majored in journalism. Emerging onto the
entertainment scene, Deja accepted an internship position, and
immediately began to work her way up the ranks, at The Terrie
Williams Agency. She worked hands-on with Johnnie Cochran,
The Essence Awards, The Essence Music Festival, The NBA
Players' Association, Moet & Chandon, and other entertainment
executives and celebrities.

Following a new chapter in her life, Ms. King attended the Lee
Strasburg Theater Institute before accepting a job as Director of
Hip Hop Artist Relations at Click Radio, where she developed segments featuring the biggest names in hip hop. Ms. King
pushed her department to new levels by creating an outlet that
placed hip hop in the forefront of the cyber world.

Ms. King made her literary debut with Bitch, and followed
it up with the bestselling sequel Bitch Reloaded and The Bitch
Is Back. The saga continues with Queen Bitch. A prolific
writer, King is also the author of Dirty Little Secrets, Hooker
to Housewife, Superstar and Stackin' Paper which she writes
under her pseudonym Joy King. For more information visit
