Randy Cochran
H. Berkeley Rourke
Randy L. Cochran was born in Hartford Connecticut and went to Weaver High School where he played football and baseball. He also boxed for the Stowe Village Boxing Club in Hartford Connecticut. One of his best friends is a retired professional boxer and a New England champion by the name of John Skully, A.K.A. Ice Man. He enjoys reading and writing and when he was in school he was good at writing short stories. What inspired him to write his own books, was reading a lot of Stephen King and Jackie Collin books. Living the street life he saw a lot of events in his life, some good and some bad, but by the grace of God he made it out of the streets a soldier and every soldier has a story to tell. So kick back and enjoy the stories from a soldier out of Hartford Connecticut.

Trai'Quan is currently incarcerated in the state of Georgia. He comes from a nice sized family with four brothers, two step brothers and a sister. His mother is deceased (may she forever rest in peace) and his father is still being the player that he is. He was raised in Augusta Ga. where his Great grandmother knew James Brown personally. He originally started writing because of a bet, someone said that he couldn't write a book that was as good as Donald Goines. Enough respect due, but he actually won that bet. That was in 1998 and it was really a short story. He wrote his first full book around 2000. Writing is a passion to him, one that he intends to help him gain his freedom one day. Yet at the same time, he intends to continue writing until he reaches his grave. He writes in all genre’s and believes that the only limits placed on an individual are those they place upon themselves.
Oh..., one other thing, every book he writes is an ORIGINAL. That’s why they are all called,
A Trai'Quan Original...
