Kevin M. Weeks is an African American writer and philanthropist.  In 2006, he released a urban crime fiction book series called The Street Life Series®.   There are currently three books in the series: The Street Life Series: Is It Suicide or Murder? (Published September 2006) The Street Life Series: Is It Passion or Revenge? (Published January 2008) The Street Life Series: Is It Rags or Riches? (Coming Fall 2009) For his works, Weeks received a 2008 London Book Festival award, 2007 New York Book Festival award, and YOUnity Guild of America Best New Urban Breakout Author award. Because Weeks was born on the rough side of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, he understands the challenges of “at-risk” youth.   Therefore, book proceeds benefit the Stay Off The Streets Fund, which is a charitable fund to aid “at risk” teenagers who age out of foster care without a strong support structure.
