About the author:

He unwinds by reading books, listening to good music, and watching movies. He believes that writers are change agents that are capable of changing the world through their writings. He currently lives in Lagos, Nigeria.

What inspired you to write your book?

I want to tell the African story from a different perspective. A lot of writers have written about the happenings in Africa, and in this short stories I used Nigeria to tell and project Africa in a different perspective, it is a different narrative.

Here is a short sample from the book:

THE BURNING FOOD
Bolaji’s mien swiftly changed at the sight of Mr. President on the TV screen as though there was a contrived resentment for his Excellency. It was Independence Day, and the National Anthem had heralded his Excellency’s speech on the National Television. His Excellency spoke rather timidly, picking his words with constrained carefulness as if mindful of making blunders. His assertion that his administration had accomplished a lot in spite of the country’s sober mood hit Bolaji in the solar plexus as he clenched his fists in disgust as if he was going to punch his Excellency through the TV screen.
Bolaji was a First Class graduate of Accounting from the University of Ibadan, but a jobless husband and father of one. Unemployment was one of the country’s trademarks, and Bolaji was having a fair share of it. His academic records were enough to secure him a high-paying job, but not in a country where there was abundance of water and yet many were perennially thirsty. He oftentimes recalled when – about six months earlier, he went for a job interview at a bank and was disqualified on the basis of ethnicity. He was Yoruba, and had lost the job to an Igbo man with a Second Class Lower. His recent job hunt had the prospect of going well because he knew the company’s Marketing Manager, but little did he know that there would be a price attached to such assistance from the manager who happened to be his elder sister’s friend.
“See yourself as our company’s accountant, Bolaji. I’ve told my boss about you, and he’s ready to give you the job once you’ve been interviewed,” Aunty Susan had said.
“God bless you, aunty. I will be glad if it works out fine. I’ve been home for two years now, and I desperately need this job.”
“You will get the job. But nothing goes for nothing,” Aunty Susan said with a faint smile.
“How do you mean, ma?”
“What I mean is that, both of us will be having an affair before you secure the job.”
“That is impossible, aunty!”Bolaji had exclaimed, standing as if to walk out of the restaurant. “I’m a married man, and you are much older than me. You are my elder sister’s friend for crying out loud!”
“What has age got to do with this? If you need this job, age and infidelity shouldn’t be your problem.”
“I’m disappointed in you,” Bolaji said and stormed out of the restaurant. That was the last time he saw Aunty Susan and did not bother to call or visit the company because he was not called for an interview.

    DESTROY ME. (The Obsession Series Books 1-3 Complete.) by Laura Bailey

    0 out of 5

    How can someone save you when they threaten to break you in two? My captor, My enemy, My everything. He promises to save me. He tells me to leave while I can. A man as menacing as he is seductive, a man whose touch scorches me, a man whose moments of devotion are more heartbreaking than his callousness. From the moment his eyes held mine I had no choice but to surrender to everything he was; his dark desires, his passion, his strength. A powerful obsession and forbidden needs consume us both. Bound to his dark sexuality, we embark on a battle of wills. He pushes me to the edge. He seeks release in me, momentary escape from the pain and loneliness that fills him. He carries the scars of the haunting legacy of dark secrets. His desires are undeniable, our obsession inevitable, but he doesn’t trust me. Whatever it takes, he says he will protect me… but he will never let me in. He promises to save me. He tells me to let go. We can’t be together. Enemies are like ghosts and what he does for me will either bind us closer…or destroy us completely. (With strong scenes of an explicit sexual nature, this is suitable only for those eighteen and over) An erotic haunting powerful love story, with strong scenes of sexual acts. The Complete ‘Obsession Series,’ featuring ‘Surrender to Me’, ‘Break Me,’ and Part Three, ‘Destroy Me.’

  • Reverb by J. Cafesin

    0 out of 5

    James Whren is brilliant, beautiful, rich, and taken—with his genius for creating music. Desired by many, he commits to no one but his muse. On the eve of his brother’s funeral his father shatters his life, and James is left abandoned in hell with no one real to save him.

    Until Elisabeth, and her son, Cameron.

    Reverb is a love story, a psychological thriller paced with romantic suspense. Spun from The Magus (John Fowles), also about a man who learns to love someone other than himself, and way beyond 50 Shades of Gray (E.L. James), Reverb is told like Crime and Punishment, modern, tight, dark, edgy verging on sharp. It’s like nothing you’ve read, guaranteed.

    5/5 Stars / Top Pick! “This is one of those stories that pulls you in immediately and has you frantically turning the pages to see what happens next.”–Diana Coyle, Night Owl Reviews

  • Taste by Cambria Hebert

    One taste is never enough…

    Spencer Waller’s main purpose in life is to protect and serve. After spending years in the military, he gets a coveted spot on the Secret Service detail protecting the president. Spence doesn’t have time for women or all the work having a relationship with one requires. But just because he isn’t looking for a lady doesn’t mean he can’t appreciate a beautiful one when he sees her.

    And he makes it a point to see one in particular every single day.

    Elle Bond has literally chopped and fried her way to the top of the food chain. Earning a coveted position in the White House as the president’s personal chef, she figures her professional life can only get better. Her personal life, on the other hand, could use a little bit of an overhaul, and because of that, she tries to ignore the charm-dripping cookie thief every time he comes into her kitchen. After all, she knows better than anyone that just one taste of something good is never enough.

    One night after work, Elle is assaulted, threatened, and given an ultimatum. She can’t go to the police, and she sure as hell can’t do what she was ordered.

    But she has to. Or else.

    Pale, shaken, and scared to death, Elle confides in Spence, and his protective instincts take over. Together, Elle and Spencer have to uncover a sinister plot and stop it before someone ends up dead.

  • DESIRE & PREJUDICE by Jean-Louis McMillan

    0 out of 5

    Desire & Prejudice promotion: $0.99 (instead of $ 2.99) From Fri. 03/28/14 to Fri. 04/11/14

    Desire and Prejudice is about the healing power of true lovemaking and the damning power of ethnic bias.

    When Jasmine and Adam first meet, they are both totally caught by surprise; their inner feelings are the magnetic force that draws them to each other. Their burning desires toward one another are unstoppable, but they are condemned by their separate lives – he is a French official and she is a Muslim.

    They find ways to be with each other when they couldn't.

    The poetic letter takes the reader into the minds of two lovers desperately wanting one another, but each holding back because of their cultural backgrounds and the fear of getting caught in their dangerous game.

    The erotic descriptions are vivid enough, but scarcely the right quantity of description to know precisely what is going on.

    Desire and Prejudice is much more than “boy meets girl, they fall in love”; it tells a realistic, believable story that readers haven't heard before.

    These characters, nor the twisted end of the story, are definitely not the stereotypical a reader can predict.

    “Desire & Prejudice” climbed to #1 on free Erotica category and #11 on free Fiction, during the last KDP Free Days Promotion.
