Writing and publishing
“Relentless redefines the art of storytelling — Harlem's energy on every page.”
African American Literature Book Club
“The plots are gripping and often unfold in a real-life cityscape, often in New York's rougher neighborhoods.”
The New York Times
About Aaron
Who's actually writing this.
Pen name: Relentless Aaron. Government name: Dewitt Gilmore. Born and raised in New York. Marine Corps. Harlem. Mount Vernon. A long stretch where I wrote thirty novels from a cell — by hand, by mail, by candlelight when it came to that.
Before the book deals, there was publishing. I put out my first magazine, The Superstar Magazine, in the early 90s. When I came home, St. Martin's signed me to a fourteen-book deal and the machine widened. Books, yes. Essays. Broadcast. A small workshop for readers stepping into their second act. A short list of one-to-one clients.
The line through all of it is the same: tell the truth, and tell it without flinching. If that's useful to you, you're in the right place.
