Praise for AFRICAN THUNDER & OTHER STORIES
"An embarrassing and motivational story of a guy on a journey of self-discovery who is running away from an ego that would probably have thrown him to the abyss."
_ Sami Dzombo ()
"A total lack of control"
"Osoch's writing is punctuated by short, beautiful sentences that are spasms of greatness. His acerbic voice not only shows confidence in the craft, but paints a person in knowledge of what he does. Trust from him a story like no other.
In these pages is an experience with words that can't be matched with anybody."
_ Kimaru Kim ()
"Ogun's last collection of stories was one of the most captivating E- books I have ever read. His way of storytelling is charismatic and captures, authentic real-life situations. African Thunder and Other stories is way better than his previous work. This collection is a Masterpiece."
_Tracy Jebet
"Osoch is a prolific writer, his stories make you want to wake up every day just to read his masterpieces. As a writer, I feel that Osoch creates true art. Art which is pure, honest to the human spirit & timeless. This collection of stories will last for generations."
_ Shem Ian ()
Fresh, bold, homely. This book is like experiencing bits of Kenya through the eyes of a young gusii man. Osoch paints with words. And he's managed to capture an honest painting of the Kenyan youth. In here is life, decadence, desperation, love & everything. You won't be disappointed.
_ Nathan Kangogo
This book is dedicated to my parents. My Mum for bringing me into this world and my Dad for teaching me what it means to be a man, and how to be a man. For a long time, I've been trying to find the meaning of life. I've searched, I've done yoga, I've meditated for hours on end, I've ransacked books on philosophy and religion.
In my search, I've found only allusion. But my parents have loved me, and in their love, I discovered the meaning of life. Love is the answer to everything. Love everyone. Love everything, and you will find happiness.
Mum & Dad, I love you so much. You two are my world.
