AJ Lewis is the pen name of Yusuf DeLorenzo and is the award-winning author of the Muhammad Amalfi Mysteries. While a graduate student abroad, Yusuf translated works from Arabic, Persian and Urdu. His novels are infused with a love of history and seek to bridge cultural differences through sharing adventures and challenging situations. Yusuf lives in Florida and has an insatiable appetite for fiction that opens new vistas. The aim of Yusuf's fiction is to describe the world, not to inform it, and the code he writes by was articulated elegantly by D. L. Doctorow: "Facts are the images of history, just as images are the facts of fiction," and by Hannah Arendt: "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." Yusuf spoke at the annual conference of the Historical Novel Society in May of 2019 in Washington, DC on the subject of Algiers under the Turkish Regency, titled: “Ruling the Waves in North Africa or Waving the Rules: the Ottoman States 1510-1830.”
