- About The Author
Ivan Wright was born and raised in Trenton, NJ, where he attended Trenton’s public school system. His affinity for the sciences led him to Indiana University of PA where he received his Bachelor of Science in Respiratory Therapy.
Writing began for Ivan while in college and continued as a “serious hobby” for many years. His formalized literary work and novel development began several years ago and has resulted in two novels: Black People: For Entertainment Purposes Only (Able Journey Press April 2007), and Indentured Scholars: The Inner City Scandal (Publication release April 2008).
Ivan’s books deal dramatically and humorously with the many threads of the African-American experience. His characters are rich in content and speak to the interests of seasoned and introspective readers. Woven within the pages is the appreciation of human values that were once common pillars in all communities. Through “ancestral whisperings,” we are reminded that love, family, and acceptance names us all.
Be it romance, suspense, violence or relationships, Ivan’s novels will give the reader a chance to laugh, shiver and cry or just reminisce. Most of all his stories will offer all an opportunity to continue the dialogue regarding our wondrously dynamic African-American journey!

Indentured Scholars- The Inner City Scandal
Author: Ivan Wright
ISBN: 978-1934249475
$15.95
News Anchor, Synthia Pearson refuses to believe it - a secret academy for inner city kids that has been kept hidden on an island for almost thirty years?
America still can't educate its poor?
Emotions explode in this suspense thriller as many learn that a requirement of the academy is that the parent must sign their child over to the academy - the school will raise the child.
Before you condemn that young mother; sit with her as she listens to nightly gunfire from the peddling horde; then painfully decides that she prefers that the chalk be in her child's hand - and not used to outline his bullet-ridden body.
Politicians, families and churches all ignite as they seriously and humorously seek to confirm their positions.
Follow a confused Synthia as she discovers her husband's painful secret- even as she confronts the academy's mysterious benefactor and unknowingly engages with an old man who hints of a long-traveled spirit of the dark.

It's an urban street book about Shytayjah Johnson AKA Tayjah who is from the streets of New York. She is known for being beautiful and having a glamorous life until suddenly her life takes a twist. She falls in love with a big-time drug dealer named Jason from Harlem, who is known for being a killer. But when he is put in a coma and his right-hand man, Rob, is put in a grave, everyone becomes a target—including Tayjah. When Tayjah’s little sister, Neka, gets killed and her mother becomes a crackhead, Tayjah and her brother, Shytek, takes the streets in their own hands, leaving the streets of New York with shootouts and dead bodies. They will do any and every thing to find the person who murdered their sister. Their hunt is put on hold when both of them get arrested for murder because someone close to them is snitching on them.
