WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE BOOKS AND AUTHORS?
My favorite book is "The Autobiography of Malcolm X
HOW DID YOU START WRITING?
My mother made sure that I loved reading at an early age. Writing a book was just a progression of that love. Consequently, I wrote a serial novel called "Mr X: Man of Death" to share with my friends in the neighborhood at age 10 or 11. It followed the life of a French resistance fighter in nazi occupied France during World War II. From there I started publishing in anthologies, school newspapers and literary magazines, before moving on to regional and national publications.

"WORDS FROM AN UNCHAINED MIND is one of the most unique books of our time! This treatise cuts across ethnic and class lines, and strikes at the ills of U.S.A. society with a force and emotion reminding the reader of the positive activism of the 1960's! A reading of his book brings to mind, many times, the potential of Mr. Whitehurst to become one of the great writers in the next century!" --YOUR BLACK BOOKS GUIDE
