Blackmail, Black Queen: 'Til DEATH Do Us Part (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692659083)

Jeffery Alexander is known to most people as Abdullah (servant of God). Born in Birmingham, Alabama, he is the second son of a Baptist Minister. He spent most of his childhood and teenaged years in Denver, Colorado and Chicago, Illinois, respectively. Unfortunately, he fell prey to the plight that befalls many of our young black men and began engaging in criminal activity at an early age. After receiving a harsh sentence for armed robbery, what was meant to break him had the opposite effect. It strengthened his resolve to redeem himself and to be the man he was destined to be from birth. While incarcerated, he educated himself and earned Certificate in Small Business Administration, an Associates of Science Degree and a Bachelor's Degree. He served as the Imam (minister) for the Muslims in every prison in which he was confined. Having undergone transformation himself, his primary objective is to transform dark hearts and minds and to inspire people -- especially black people -- to love themselves and their own kind. He wrote this street fiction novel, Blackmail, Black Queen: 'til death do us part, in hopes that the characters, exhibiting heart, feelings and soul, will allow people to identify with them and experience - vicariously - their trials and triumphs, victories and defeats. He has written other pieces, a short story entitled "Alexandria" which was published in a national magazine and several articles in Prison publications and newsletters. He plans to continue to let his voice be heard in a manner that will keep other young, black men from travelling the same path that he followed. He is married to his childhood friend and confidant, Greta (Malika).
