C.J. Farley was born in Kingston, Jamaica, raised in Brockport, N.Y., and graduated from Harvard University, though not necessarily in that order. He is the author of the novels "Game World," "Kingston By Starlight," and "My Favorite War," and the nonfiction books "Before the Legend: The Rise of Bob Marley" and "Aaliyah: More Than a Woman," which was the basis for the Lifetime TV movie "Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B." Farley co-wrote and co-edited the book “The Blues” (Harper Collins) the companion volume to Martin Scorsese’s PBS documentary series and his work on that project has allowed him to justifiably drop Scorsese's name into biographies like this one ever since. Farley’s short fiction has been featured in a number of anthologies including “The Vintage Book of War Fiction,” a survey of the best war stories of the last 100 years, and “Kingston Noir,” a short story collection that came out in 2012. Farley was the consulting producer on the acclaimed HBO documentary "Mr. Dynamite: The Rise of James Brown," but now wishes he had just taken a writing credit because nobody quite understands what a consulting producer does. Farley is a former editor on the staff of the Harvard Lampoon and he deeply regrets any unfunny pranks he may have pulled in his college years.
