Born and raised in Oakland California, Fanita Pendleton relocated to Norfolk Virginia during her senior year in high school and has called the magnificent city home ever since. Fanita began her career as a Juvenile Probation Officer and later worked in Adult Probation before taking a short break to pursue her love of teaching as a Criminal Justice Instructor at a local technical college. Recently Fanita stepped back into law enforcement and is now flourishing in that capacity.
Fanita blazed on the scene with her Criminal Romance Series: Shoot First Ask Questions Never 1-3, Fist Full of Tears 1-2, The Moscato Diaries, MOET: Money Over Everything, Moet’s Revenge, Open Marriage: A Fatal Attraction Story, That Dirty South Love: CoCo’s Story, her first journal: The Boss Lady Journal and her children’s books My Daddy Said: My Black is Beautiful and My Daddy Said: I Can Be Anything. An avid reader, Fanita holds a special place in her heart for the unsung genre of Urban Crime and Urban Romance Dramas, and in her youth, devoured the works of such greats as Donald Goines, and Iceberg Slim. Fanita is Owner of Urban Moon Books where she publishes her work, promotes author events and assists young authors with their shot at making their dreams come true.
Fanita received her Masters Degree in Public Administration from Troy University, as well as a Bachelors in Sociology from Langston University, and her Associates in Communications from Luzerne County Community College.
