Leodis Smith is a citizen of the world although his moving has only been done in one country. He was born in Dallas, Texas and raised in Oklahoma, Michigan, Colorado, and Texas. He fell in love with writing as a kid because it was an alternative to his more destructive tendencies. He would then use this same tendency to avoid doing most of his homework.
