Ahmad Gemini Ray was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. He is the dark Alter Ego/Gemini Twin of Ameer Ward, the Founder & CEO of Iconic Creations Entertainment. Ahmad Gemini Ray began to write the Welcome to 10-5 (Hell) book series, among many other stories/series, at ten years old when his uncle passed away. Writing was his escape from the drama and pain he and his family endured during death and dark times. It was the only way he could make sense of things happening around him. As Ahmad got older, he continued writing, being an avid reader of crime fiction and supernatural thrillers, and breaking down/analyzing literature. Later in life, Ahmad received his Bachelor's Degree in Promotional Communications and a Masters's Degree in English Literature & Creative Writing. After receiving his Master's degree, the self-proclaimed "Literary Theorist" began to go back and intentionally insert typos/mistakes, literary conventions, and many more literary elements in all of his stories to spark the minds of his audience and make them literary theorists and critical thinkers while reading all of his stories. With intentional typos/mistakes, various literary elements, and killer entertaining storylines/plots, Ahmad considers his work to be "edutainment." Ahmad's first love and passion always have been and always will be writing and educating his readers.
