I graduated from Glenville High School in Cleveland, Ohio, received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Administration from Lincoln University in Pennsylvania, and earned a Master of Science degree in Urban Studies from Cleveland State University. I am a Vietnam Veteran and former army officer.

Something About Ann, my latest novel, is a historical fiction novella with eleven short stories that follows a group of soldiers who faced traumatic experiences in Vietnam but remained close after returning to the States. Violence and turmoil continue to haunt the soldiers as they try to normalize their lives.

A Long Way Back tells the story of black soldiers thought to be killed in action who mysteriously reappear in Cu Chi, Vietnam. A curious war correspondent uncovers an illegal army mission gone awry.

So far, A Long Way Back has won the Independent Publisher’s of New England first place award, the Literary Classics Seal of Approval, was a finalist for the Montaigne Medal Award and was a DQ winner in the IBPA Ben Franklin Award contest.
My novel received the Bronze Award from the 2015 INDIEFAB Book of the Year Awards, the Silver Award from Literary Classics and the Silver Award from the Military Writers Society of America.

I am also the author of the award winning Snake Walkers. My debut novel placed first for fiction in four different literary contests, won the bronze award for general fiction in the ForeWord Magazine Book of the Year competition, and was also honored by the Black Caucus of the American Library Association.

My literary inspiration comes from writers like Cheikh Anta Diop, Malidoma Somé, and Maryse Conde. I also like the futuristic novels of Octavia Butler and Tananarive Due. I grew up reading Robert Ludlum, John Le Carré, Richard Wright, James Baldwin, and Langston Hughes.

I enjoy reading, tennis, billiards, working out, traveling, cooking, and drinking a good wine. I am the father of Lia Martin of Los Angeles and Eric Prewitt of Las Vegas.
