J.L. Whitehead
Biography
Even though I had been writing unprofessionally for quite some time, I decided to take the plunge into writing for a living while working full time. The journey wasn't easy.
I published my first novel in 2011 titled, "Bruthas" which tells the story of three brothers; the two older siblings attempting to pull the youngest brother out of the drug life before it kills him. This circumstance is enshrouded in a murder mystery where a sociopath is systematically killing the women addicted to the product that the youngest brother sells.
My second book released in 2017 titled "Groomed" tells my story as an abuse servivor. Having suffered sexual abuse as a child and then again as an adolescent, I thought that it was important to tell my story in the hopes that men will realize what was truly taken from them.
My latest book released in 2024 is titled, "Plantation" which tells the story of a Drake, Indigo and Tarek...siblings that find themselves captive in a modern day slavery scenario. The family battles modern day slaveholders, witches and "things" that live in the woods in the hopes of getting back to the lives they once had, not realizing that their lives will never be the same.
"Bruthas" and "Plantation" are Four Brothers Publications products.
