I write Novels; Among Us and Under Man's Spell.
I write fiction and creative nonfiction. I am also looking forward to writing YA and children's books, sometime in the near future.

My second book "Under Man's Spell" was inspired by true events. The story interweaves the lives of several families living traditional lives in the heart of Africa, and shows the disturbing impact of dogmatic tradition and superstition on individuals and communities.

I'm currently working on my third Novel.

"Under Man's Spell", has been inspired by the true events in the country of Tanzania.
From the old ladies who are burnt to death due to the belief that they are witches only because of their red eyes and wrinkled skins, to the albinos who are killed due to different beliefs mostly associated with black magic, human beings are tormented and killed in numbers unbeliavable to those who are living in more civilized societies.
