About Aberjhani
After being born and raised in the southeastern United States, I spent many years, while pursuing my education and serving in the U.S. Air Force, traveling around America and the world. Much of that story is told in my recent book releases, Greeting Flannery OConnor at the Back Door of My Mind and Dreams of the Immortal City Savannah. Artwork by me is featured on the cover of both books.

Even I am the fan of Nobel man King Martin Luther keeping the humankind safe from anything possible while raising voice against inequality of any kind, as the oxygen reaches to all without failure and discrimination, and besides whose carbon-dioxide is converting to oxygen whose breathing whose can never be an issue emotionally or technically or in anyway that unites all already like gravitational force, and similar! Such brilliant creation my friend! Be happily blessed always! :)
