On July 13, 2021, the veteran writer became a bestselling author when her coming-of-age story, "Noah, True Love Never Dies," hit #1 on Kindle Unlimited. Ms. Mitchell, who released her latest novel, Unstable, in November 2022, was thrilled when "Noah" and "Ruthless Pamela Jean" posted on the top 100 free Kindle Unlimited books simultaneously. "Ruthless Pamela Jean" also won the Readersfavorite 2022 Honorable Mention book award.“CD Mitchell" was born in Los Angeles, California, on May 12, 1955. One of 16 children, Mitchell, is the daughter of the late Zebbie Thomas Charles, Sr., and Tasceaie Carise Charles.Born during the noteworthy era of the Civil Rights Movement, Mitchell recalled how living in an urban setting in Compton and Watts, California, during an era in American history when growing up in the “Ghetto,” became a motivating influence behind her award-winning writing career. Mitchell witnessed police brutality and disenfranchisement when, during six days of rioting in August 1965, those insurrections and the after-effects of such insurgencies changed her life.Mitchell was encouraged by her mother, a Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN), who insisted urban ruin was an opportunity for growth. Notwithstanding, Mitchell grew steadily, leaving her imprint on fighting illiteracy and caring for her father, a World War II veteran who could not read or write. Mitchell wrote many notable novels, including the acclaimed book "Your Rights: What Employers Do Not Want You to Know," which remains the worker's go-to reference guide for employees, lawyers, and unions throughout the United States work industry. In 1983, Mitchell chronicled her early life occurrences in a Readersfavorite, award-winning novel, “What Happened to Suzy,” winning nationwide praise for its' message of healing and hope. The book was inducted into the nation’s Library of Congress's Jefferson and Washington Room(s) archives.Mitchell, the winner of Pomona California’s 1973 Miss Congeniality Award, sponsored by JC Penney's, returned to her writing roots in Oakland, California, in November 2022, with the releases of Unstable and Letters to Carol, which both chronicle her struggles with mental health issues and chronic homelessness. In Oakland, California, Mitchell, who worked alongside slain newspaper editor Chauncey Bailey as a news reporter for [Soul Beat], calls the Bay Area home. Mitchell was highlighted in The Oakland Post Newspaper for her groundbreaking work as one of the nation’s most iconic African-American writers. For this, she is also a notable African American Book Club member (AALBC). Maintaining consistent literary balance, Mitchell is also an expert niche writer for e-zine articles.
