Seventeen-year-old Karasi Shujaa ain't afraid of no ghosts - although technically they are called roho mbaya - and poachers. Blessed by the gods of her tribe with the magic to mimic the powers of animals, Karasi hunts both down without a sense of fear-not an easy task with her 9 PM curfew. The only thing Karasi does fear is getting caught kissing her girlfriend, as being a lesbian is illegal in Kenya. When a sacred lion cub-the source of Karasi's magic-is stolen by a poaching syndicate influenced by the demonic serpent Kifonyoka, it endangers the natural balance. However, before Karasi can rescue it, her father, a tribal man who neither believes in the gods nor their magic, ships her off to live in Washington D.C. Although her magic draining away, Karasi will fight for what she views as her birthright. With the support of her gods, Karasi must outwit Kifonyoka and his deadly disciples to rescue the cub. Or else Karasi would lose her magic, her mother's legacy, and the love of the girl of her dreams.

A collection of short stories in which the root of their love is simultaneously the harbinger of their demise. Because the risque of the heart's desires is often found embedded in the knife jutting through it. "...you're writing style is top-notch, especially on how you describe and highlight every detail..." - @_mnmlst "THIS WAS JUST BEAUTIFUL!

"Why is this so important to you?" "Just drop it please, Jamie." "No, I wanna know, okay? I wanna know why you want so desperately to fit in when you obviously don't, Delilah." "Because I don't wanna be forgotten. I don't wanna be forgotten, okay? I just can't be forgotten again and this is the solution. Happy now?" Great, so now I was crying. I, Delilah Clementime, the unbreakable cheerleader and golden girl of high school, was crying. And crying in front of the Jamie Dunn, at that. What led me to this point in my life? :) Delilah Clementine is high school's golden girl. Leading in with being the captain of the cheer squad, nailing the audition in drama club, having the perfect argument in debate class, and being at the end of her book for the library's book club. On the outside she seems to living the life that only happens in the movies or in the fantasies most girls only imagine. The only difference is that Delilah's slowing breaking on the inside since she's starting to step outside of the facade she's worked so hard to build since freshman year. Then, let's cue the opposite. James Dunn is the school's cliche. The wannabe football star who settled for point guard on the school's basketball team. Not necessarily the best start for senior year and giving up any chance at having a scholarship for the sport he's worked so desperately to achieve. Well, at least he still had this whole 'high school heartbreaker' reputation to count on. Delilah and James's worlds collide when they start to see each other in another light at one of the biggest events at Declan High School. The school's charity carnival that starts with rides and fun but ends in a food fight and an odd friendship. Or maybe a little more?

Alacrimia in Layman's terms is the congenital inability to produce tears. Some places in Africa have their norms and beliefs wrapped around age-old, blind superstitions. Especially the rural communities. So when a young girl comes from the city to the village, and it is discovered, through a series of unfortunate events, that she won't cry, even when induced, things take a downward spin for her, as she finds herself from Osun State to Kogi State, and then Enugu State. © This book is a work of fiction. •°•°•° 🏆 Honorable Mention in The Ruby Awards 2019 (4th place) #WattNigeria #WattysNG2020 Updates on Weekends.

"If there was one thing that describes Williana, it was the word boring. Instead of going on adventures with her lively family she would drive to the local library and sit at the back, feet prompt up on the table, head leaned back and headphones plugged in, for some quiet time. Marko hurriedly walks into the library, slamming the book his mother had practically forced him to bring back. He drums his fingers impatiently while the librarian carefully, and slowly mind you, inspects the book. Once finish he turns on heels to head out but one glance to the back of the library had him stopping."
