Unlike everyone else I have not been writing from my mother's womb. I realised my ability to write pretty well along the course of life. I didn't take it seriously initially and I'm paying for it now by studying a Science course that does not interest me anymore, thankfully, the torment will very soon be over. I am currently working on my first novel "Dappled Things", I hope to publish by the end of this year or early next year.

That Seun never came to my house that evening; that I wasn’ t hungry when I was that Saturday when we met Seun; that we never even met her anywhere and our paths never crossed.
