My name is Amali Ashanti and I've lived in poverty in Africa as long as I can remember; but only because my dad died. Join me, my brother Bakari and my mum, Chiwa as we face our lives on the cruel hard ground that having no money brings.

A collection of my poems

A short story - It's the late 1500's in a small village in Italy. Count Emmett Almond and his Countess-to-be, Esme Ellison, are both looking forward to their wedding day. When suddenly things start to spiral out of control after the arrival of Emmett's brother, and his wife. A close encounter with a gypsy in the woods leaves Emmett feeling even more insecure than before and when an old family tradition is forced upon the unhappy couple, it is unsure who will survive... In 15th century Italy, anything is possible.
