NOMINATED FOR THE WATTSPADDING READERS CHOICE AWARDS
Seven Months follows two scarred souls on opposite sides of Nigeria's most brutal war.
Obianuju, once a quiet student in Zaria, survives a massacre that takes her sister's life and leaves her permanently injured. Haunted by loss, silenced by trauma, she returns to the East to find her home changed and her future hijacked. When war is declared, she forms a rebel cell-not for glory, but for vengeance.
Salisu, the son of a northern civil servant killed in the January 1966 coup, watches his family fall apart under the weight of grief and betrayal. Unable to heal or forgive, he enlists in the military, fueled by rage and duty. But as the war drags on, his reasons begin to blur.
Set between June 1969 and January 1970, Seven Months is a powerful tale of identity, pain, and survival in a country at war with itself. Through shifting loyalties and buried truths, Obianuju and Salisu confront not only their enemies-but everything they've been told to believe.

PARALLEL HEARTS
AN AREWA SLOW-BURN... ©2025 all rights reserved --- Aisha Hassan Saeed never planned to work for a man like Sudais Abubakar Muhammad - the meticulous, intimidating CEO who somehow manages to stress her, confuse her, and fascinate her all at once. She's outspoken, funny, and full of trouble. He's controlled, calculating, and impossible to read. They clash in the office, argue over little things, and pretend they can't stand each other. But underneath the sarcasm, the quiet looks, and the unspoken tension... something is shifting. This is a slow-burn story about a boss who swears he doesn't care, a PA who swears she can't be bothered, and the undeniable pull between two people who were never supposed to get close - yet somehow keep finding their way back to each other. --- ~"An image of complexity, painted in the subtilities of black and gray."
