Rajah E. Smart was born and raised in Flint, Michigan. Mr. Smart has been an educator for over 15 years until turning to writing. As a child, all he and his family had for entertainment was their imagination, as well as a frequent trip to the library for a good book.

Rajah has been developing his writing since 2002. His titles include All in Love is Fair (fiction, 2006), Sinners have a Soul Too (fiction, 2008), Clarity of Absence (fiction, 2009), You Were There (fiction, 2010), and Black Rain (fiction, 2012), and Souls of Pier 35 (fiction, 2014).

The novels are written from a social context. Mr. Smart is socially conscious and believes that WE as people have to be more willing to face the social issues that shape our experiences. He is currently completing his doctorate in Educational Administration from the University of Michigan.
