Juntu Ahjee and I caught up from four years ago. He has a book contract for "Two Peas in A Pod" and we talk about that news and more. Juntu Ahjee, originally born in the Midwestern Bible-Belt, the youngest son of six children, his father was a decolorated soldier, and his mother was a nurse and an author. As a child, Juntu showed tremendous interest in writing stories. In the late 70s, he became a huge horror fan and began creating his own horror stories, which got him in trouble in school. As a teen, he developed an art of storytelling to keep himself out of the penal system. During the 80s, he was an honor student and received many accolades and scholar awards. In the 90s, he indulged in social mentorship for African American youths. He also became a father during this time. Juntu’s writing endeavors would end at a standstill for several years due to life’s un-expectancies. In 2000, he relocated to Seattle, WA, after connecting with family, he became a ghost writer in the Hip-Hop scene. He soon formed a group with some friends named Society’s Child. The group recorded songs reflecting racial injustice and political corruption. In 2010, Juntu took a strong interest in poetry. This led to him pursuing a career as an author and ascreenwriter. In 2019, he published his first novel, the action crime drama, The Legend of Sister Hattie Harris. In 2020, he published the follow up The Return of Sister Hattie Harris and in 2022, he published the conclusion of the series The Testimony of Hattie Harris. He also has two poetry books, Ebonology and Ebonology Book Two, the family comedy-drama, Papa’s Boys, and the coming-of-age mystery thriller Two Peas in a Pod. As of 2025, Juntu has three completed screenplays, a podcast, a YouTube channel geared to help African American entrepreneurs, authors and finding missing children. He also has more upcoming books in various genres. As Juntu would say, “you are the author of your own story, embrace every chapter!”https://juntu70.wixsite.com/websitehttps://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Store-Juntu-Ahjee/s?rh=n%3A133140011%2Cp_27%3AJuntu%2BAhjee#poetry #newreleases #fiction #publishing #lasVegas
