Turner was born in Richmond, Virginia and has received a degree from North Carolina Central University.[3] She formerly worked as a travel agent, eventually quitting to become a full-time novelist.[4] Turner has stated that she began writing urban fiction as a way of showing the "dark side" of the street life beyond the "glitz and the glamor".[3]
