Julius McFly

Julius McFly is an American writer, social media influencer and public health worker in infectious diseases. Julius was born and raised in Newark, New Jersey and studied Mass Communications / Television and Radio Broadcasting at Norfolk State University. Julius was a cast member of the hit NoRentTV Reality Web Series, “The Gentlemen of New Jersey,” and currently is on the groundbreaking YouTube web series, “Gay Code.” Julius is the author of his critically acclaimed memoir, “The Hunt for McFly: Memoirs of a Crafty Gurl.”

The purpose of my book is not to glamorize scammer culture or prison but to tell a story of redemption.  During my Hunt for Julius McFly, 2010 was a notable year. I reconnected with an old friend who made a life of scamming by impersonating random people to acquire money and designer clothes. Intrigued by this crafty lifestyle, I decided to join forces with him ultimately landing myself in prison. I met people from all walks of life; developing relationships with murderers, rapists, and thieves. I never dreamed that I would find myself in this setting, sharing a metal picnic table on yard with hardened criminals. They became my lovers and friends. 

I wrote this book in a state of transparency and vulnerability. I reveal actual events throughout my life from childhood to present day that contributed to personal failures and enabled poor decision making, as well as my journey to better understand the person I am and who I am to become.
