August 7, 2023 – Sa’id Salaam, a prolific self-published author, is on the brink of a remarkable milestone as he prepares to launch his 100th book, “Good Cop, Bad Cop.” With over a million books sold as an independent author, Salaam has gained a loyal following, earning him the endearing moniker “The Urban Aesop.” He has touched readers’ hearts worldwide by weaving uplifting messages into his gripping narratives.
Hailing from the Bronx, New York, Sa’id Salaam’s passion for storytelling blossomed at a young age, influenced greatly by his mother’s animated bedtime stories. Imbued with a love for literature, he eventually realized his dream of becoming an author. However, life took him on a different path, leading him to college, the military, and the responsibilities of parenthood. It wasn’t until a wrongful incarceration on murder charges in 2005 that he found the opportunity to unleash his creativity through writing.
What sets Sa’id Salaam’s work apart is his remarkable talent for crafting vivid descriptions, employing a sharp wit, and playing with words dynamically. Readers often compare the experience of reading his books to watching an engaging movie, as his scenes unfold with captivating dialogues and background noises, making for an immersive reading journey.
Living up to his “Urban Aesop” title, Sa’id Salaam has won admiration for instilling real-life lessons into his stories. He attributes this approach to his firsthand experiences with the devastating effects of drug addiction on his family. Salaam’s writing avoids glorifying drug use and dealing, instead presenting the raw and unpleasant realities of such activities. Even in his “Dope Girl” series, the focus remains on a coming-of-age tale rather than the drug trade.
Reflecting on his purpose as an author, Salaam shares, “I write every line with the realization that my books will be here long after I’m gone. The legacy I leave is more important than the money. Years from now, my children’s children’s grandchildren will be able to proudly say, ‘my pop-pop wrote that.'”
As he approaches the release of his 100th book, “Good Cop, Bad Cop,” the Urban Aesop continues to inspire and touch lives with his powerful storytelling, readers can expect yet another compelling tale that uplifts the spirit and leaves a lasting impression on the heart and mind.
