I am John E. Black, a storyteller called to blend faith, imagination, and heritage into stories of prophecy and destiny. My writing is inspired by my own seer’s gift, visions that whisper of futures not yet seen, and the truths that connect us all. In my series, Urim & Thummim: Seer of Africa and Keeper of Witnesses, I take readers into realms where ancient stones speak, dreams reveal hidden paths, and even the mighty seek wisdom from the humble. My African American heritage runs through the veins of these stories. It is the heartbeat of my characters, the root of their journeys, and the reminder that history, culture, and faith are never separate. When I’m not writing, I am reflecting, learning, and drawing from history and spirituality to shape the stories yet to come. Every land has its witnesses. Every nation has its tale. And every dream carries a voice waiting to be heard.
