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.

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.
