A former editor for the U.S. Air Force and a native of Savannah, Georgia (USA), Aberjhani is the author of eight books in multiple genres, including educational reference, biography, fantasy, mystery, poetry, history, and memoir. He is a winner of the Thomas Jefferson Award for his journalism, the Choice Academic Title and Best History Book Awards for his historical writings, the Creative Loafing Critic’s Pick Best Savannah Author Award for general authorship, and the Connect Savannah 2006 Poet and Spoken Word Artist of the Year Award for his poetry.
In 2009, Aberjhani has emerged as one of the pioneers of online interpretative citizen journalism. In his position as the national African-American Art Examiner, he has logged informative and entertaining stories on such era-defining issues as: the case of Georgia death-row inmate Troy Anthony Davis; the life and death of Michael Jackson; the return of neosoul singer Maxwell; the Johnny Mercer Centennial; and profiles of artists working in the U.S. Southeast.
His books, four of which have Kindle editions, include: ELEMENTAL, The Power of Illuminated Love (2008, with artist Luther E. Vann); The American Poet Who Went Home Again (2008); The Bridge of Silver Wings 2009; Christmas When Music Almost Killed the World (2007/2008); Visions of a Skylark Dressed in Black (2006); Encyclopedia of the Harlem Renaissance (2003, Facts On File); The Wisdom of W.E.B. Du Bois (2003, Kensington Books);and I Made My Boy Out of Poetry (1997, Washington Publications/iUniverse). He has also edited a number of titles for both independent authors and academic institutions. ESSENCE Magazine listed his Encyclopedia of the Harlem Renaissance among its “recommended gift items” and Black Issues Book Review listed it among their “Recommended Titles for the Home Library.” Grits.com selected his ELEMENTAL gift book of art and poetry as one the featured recommended titles for its online book club.
Aberjhani is also the founder of the popular Creative Thinkers International website.
