STORY TIME
Mystery, Adventure, Humor & Fantasy.
African Settings & Realistic Characters.
Clean stories for the young & young-at-heart.
Most of my books are set in Kenya — modern-day, historical or an alternative version. I enjoy quirky, witty characters, and exploring the brighter side of human nature. Magic, mayhem and other misadventures conspire to bring a smile to the reader’s face. From RomComs, YA and Cozy Mysteries to SciFi, Literary Fiction and Graphic Novels, my stories are light-hearted, engaging, and sparkling with hope and joy. Prepare to be refreshed and delighted.
Cheers
