Witches of Auchi is woven around the exploits of a small coven of witches as they try to navigate life and the challenges it throws at them. Azekwoh is a writer-illustrator living in Lagos. Some of you may remember him from 2 years ago when we published his Fall of the Gods story series. He writes mostly fantasy inspired by African folklore and mythology. With The Witches of Auchi, he takes the folkloric figure of the witch and gives it a modern, feminist reboot.
SYNOPSIS: A long time ago, witches came to Nigeria. Some people say they came for the magic in our land, but, truly, they just came for the jollof rice and have been here ever since. Witches are known to be bloodthirsty, cruel, and evil. But the Witches of Auchi, a small coven located on Adelabu Street in the nondescript Mama Dor's All Purpose Shop, are different. These are their stories.
The stories are funny, dark, and action-packed. Tons of fantasy and magic. Get ready to laugh, cry, and rage at the darkness and learn a thing or two about the power of women to transform their world.

Our Journey With Him [A Christian Romance]
Stephanie Darasimi Ajayi is a 27 year old freelance interior designer in Lagos, Nigeria. At that age, with no prospective husband, everyone starts to bother her about finding a partner, but no one seems to get that she is trusting God's timing with her future spouse. He has promised her that He has someone for her, but she has to trust His timing. Omotayo Jayden Williams just turned 30. Although he owns a thriving restaurant, his mum has decided not to see past the fact that he is not married and seems to have no desire for women. Why can't she understand that he just needs time to heal from his last relationship and reconnect with God. They meet in a not-so-pleasant way at a friend's wedding and seem to keep seeing each other around. Coincidence?... I think not. Come on this journey with Stephanie and Tayo as they seek to put God first while navigating this thing called life. ~ "Are you really upset with me? I was joking.... o de ti binu beyen (and you're already angry)" he chuckles. "Jokes are supposed to be funny, Tayo." I reply with an unimpressed look. "Alright, I'm sorry." He walks up to me and with his arms wrapped around my waist and my back to his chest, he whispers slowly delivering gentle kisses to my neck "Ife mi, ayo mi, eni okan mi (my love, my joy, the one who owns my heart), please forgive me for teasing you about your hair" I giggle at his attempt to win my forgiveness even though we both know that I wasn't really angry. Turning to face him, I'm in awe by the fact that this is what my life is now; engaged to this beautiful, God seeking, loving, intelligent man, I'm nothing short of blessed. God really does keep his promises. "Forgiven." ~ This book will not contain explicit scenes or cursing, but it will include the everyday struggles of anyone seeking God in this generation... That being said, I pray this book reaches and helps someone who feels like they relate to the topics in this book... HAPPY READING 🤗🫶🏾
