Black Atlantis is the story of an alternate universe in black history wherein we of the west completely separate from the western white world in 1962 for almost a century.

Richard Wright is my favorite author! His books, "Black Boy" and "Native Son," opened my eyes to the power of words and how beneficial it is to write about the ills and thrills of black life.
Besides him, no other author influenced my writing style, for I tend to write in riddles and rhymes naturally. Prolific rappers like 2Pac and Lupe Fiasco have influenced me as an author.
