Born in the heart of New York City – Harlem – Durell Arrington has spent the second half of his life exploring the arts through a multitude of mediums. From Illustrating to Acting, each of these avenues invariably connected him back to a place of writing. It was not until fifteen years after he first conceptualized Tactile Therapy that he realized the expansive story would be best told through a series of novels. Today, he continues developing and expanding the Tactile Therapy series while juggling life as an educator for inner-city youth.
