Biography LeRoy Brown (LeRoy Charles Brown, Jr.) Author Born 10/28/59 Birthplace: Bronx, New York LeRoy Brown wrote his first story at the tender age of eleven. It was a submission for a contest being held by Reader’s Digest when he was in grade school. His story won the contest, and from that day on LeRoy considered himself a writer. Throughout his life, LeRoy always wrote poetry, stories, etc., but everything he wrote, including letters, memos, and reports written for his employers in the business world, he considered literary works. A document that would take him thirty minutes to write, he would spend days, sometimes weeks, reviewing, changing, and perfecting. It is this commitment to excellence that has given him the ability to tell his stories in a way that the reader sees it through his eyes.
