At the age of 18 he began to have introspective thoughts about his community and how his environment not only directly affected his choices but those whom he grew up with. Lucas Riggins co-founded Terri Woods Publishing, a book publishing company that changed the face of urban manuscripts. Most famous publishing for such streetwise urban novels as True to the Game, B More Careful and Dutch, Riggins began his career by self publishing and selling 1 million copies independently.
