Divine Ortiz is a 49-year-old Puerto Rican originally from The Bronx, NY. He's spent most of his life as a member of the Five Percent Nation, and a third of his life in and out of various state and federal penitentiaries. It was during his last prison term in a Federal United States Penitentiary that he decided that it would indeed be his last. Recognizing that he had a gift for writing, he picked up a pen. Five and a half years and 17 novels later, Divine emerged from the federal prison system with a story to tell and a plan. After a couple of not so great experiences with shady publishers, Divine chose to take control of the direction his books and career would go. He, along with his wife, Nikki Ortiz created ZitrO Publications. With over 50 books published to their credit, an arsenal of top-notch authors signed to ZitrO and no end in sight, ZitrO Publications has forged its way into the literary world. Like it or not, Urban Fiction and the literary world have a new face. One that threatens to be around for a long time to come.
